Portsmouth's indie music landscape is set aglow with the return of Crystal Tides and their latest single, "Detonate." This track reaffirms the band's prowess in crafting compelling vocal melodies against a backdrop of indie excellence. Drawing inspiration from luminaries like Two Door Cinema Club, Foals, and The Wombats, Crystal Tides conjure an irresistibly infectious indie-pop sound that's not only toe-tapping but also inherently catchy.

Produced by the esteemed David Evans, known for his work with Cowboyy, Skinny Living, Flowvers, and Tom Millichamp, "Detonate" is a musical voyage that instantly captivates. It introduces itself with shimmering synths and melodies that grip you from the very start. The rhythmic drums and crisp guitar lines combine to create a vibrant, euphoric soundscape, elevated by the soulful and heartfelt vocal performance.

The chorus of 'Detonate' is anthemic in every sense, the kind you can imagine a packed stadium chanting in unison. This is where Crystal Tides solidify their status as rising indie-pop stars.

Exploring the lyrical depth, 'Detonate' is a reflection of lead singer Billy Gregory's journey through the complexities of aging in a society that often glorifies youth. The chorus serves as a poignant reminder of the self-destructive coping mechanisms that come with age and the song is a metaphorical mirror, reflecting the pursuit of self-love and self-improvement. Crystal Tides have been making significant strides, from sold-out local shows to UK tours and festival appearances and they've gained attention on airwaves and in tastemaker press, with their tracks having been featured in prominent syncs. "Detonate" marks their latest chapter, reaffirming their position as a band on the brink of national acclaim.
