True Tides are back with explosive new single 'All We Got Is War' and have just announced an exciting Belfast show at Voodoo on Saturday 18th November.

Bursting with incandescent melodies blended together with 80s style dark synth soundscapes, TrueTides new single ‘All We Got Is War’ is a glittering pop banger for 2023.

The track erupts with a shimmering pop hook before cascading into a dark dream-like verse where the lead vocal breaks through a heady architecture of vocoder harmonies, vocal synths & a sample of an unsettling clarinet pattern that hints at the darkness & chaos described in the lyrics – “You want to bury the hatchet, driving it into my back, maybe we just couldn’t hack it, baby all we got is war”.

Speaking about 'All We Got Is War', Cian says; “All We Got Is War was born out of a sampled phone recording of a clarinet melody cutting through everyday street sounds as I passed the open windows of a music college in the heart of Dublin.

“ The song describes a fractured relationship & the chaotic times in which it was written, yearning for a freedom & hedonistic escapism which explodes to the surface with the cathartic release of the soaring synthpop & pumping dancefloor beats of the chorus”.

True Tides are currently on tour with Olly Murs and performed for the final night of Live at Botanic Gardens.
