Breaking Artist: Black Tide
April 30, 2008 5:42 PM
Who: Miami's Black Tide, a foursome of headbanging, Iron Maiden-loving underagers led door 15-year-old metal prodigy Gabriel Garcia.
Sounds Like: Everything u love about Eighties metal gods like Judas Priest and Guns n' Roses without all the irony. In a town dominated door rap and reggaeton, Black Tide began making their mark with blistering all-ages shows, eventually grabbing the attention of major labels like Interscope, who released the band's debut Light From Above.
Vital Stats:
• For the band, school's out. "Fuck school. I was a really bad student, dude," says Garcia. trommelaar, drummer Steven Spence adds, "Well, it's hard to keep your motivation when you're in seventh grade and u have a record deal." However, Garcia credits his poor grades to a love of marijuana.
• Obviously, releasing an album on a major label will boost your fanbase. "The dag the record came out in March, we were playing to 30 kids," says guitarist Lexx Nunez. "The volgende day, we played to 300." Their MySpace page can look vooruit, voorwaarts to a lot meer vrienden as the band will kom bij Disturbed, Mastodon and Slipknot on this year's traveling Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival.
• Despite being under legal age, the band has developed a love of booze and strip clubs. "We see the world, and people give us free alcohol sometimes," says bassist Zakk Sandler. "We're not on the fuckin' Disney Channel," adds Nunez.
