The Black Angels are marching forward into battle for your souls.

Formed in May 2004 in Austin, TX, The Black Angels' psychedelically induced rock n' roll evokes the spirit of the 1960's while awakening the heavy droning rhythms inspired by The Velvet Underground. Picture a red moonlit night, deep in the heart of Texas, with the ghosts of Nico and Timothy Leary being called back from the dead to guide you on a journey through Heaven & Hell and back again. The Black Angels have just released the drone and roll masterpiece Passover on Seattle label Light In The Attic. The record has received great reviews including a 7.2 on Pitchfork and a B rating via Stylus Magazine.

The Tyde’s journey began back in the early 90s when Rademaker and brother Brent fronted Further, the legendary LA indie outfit in which they first began mixing twisted, Beach Boys and Jan & Dean-influenced, suburban California harmonies with Jesus and Mary Chain and Teenage Fanclub-influenced guitar pop chaos. Recent LA music history could not ignore the impact of that single band’s influence, which ignited a forest fire of notable bands to follow—Beachwood Sparks, All Night Radio, Frausdots, and, of course, The Tyde—connected through common membership and musical vision, friendship and brotherhood. Dare we say their combined creative output has been unmatched since the halcyon days of late 60s LA.
