Crystal Tides – Toothpaste

Description

Release Date: 13/02/26

Crystal Tides’ long-awaited debut album, Toothpaste, captures the Portsmouth band truly coming into their own. Written and recorded independently, it channels resilience, creativity, and raw honesty into a bold, heartfelt set shaped with long-time collaborator and producer David Evans. Beginning as rough voice notes in 2022 and refined through collaborative sessions and late-night home demos, the record balances polished, stadium-ready anthems with the group’s most personal reflections. The title track draws on frontman Billy’s battle with Ulcerative Colitis and life-changing surgery—an unusual, striking name that underlines the band’s authenticity and ability to find meaning in the unexpected. Tracklist: 1. Better Weather 2. Back To You 3. Sidelines 4. Movies 5. Toothpaste 6. Down 7. Sinner 8. Homesick 9. Love Somebody 10. All I’m Dreaming Of
