Black Tide is an American heavy metal band from Miami, Florida. Formed in 2004, the band is currently signed to Interscope Records. The original band comprised Gabriel Garcia (vocals and guitar), Alex Nuñez (guitar), Zachary Sandler (bass and vocals), and Steven Spence (drums). Black Tide has toured on Ozzfest, and with Avenged Sevenfold and All That Remains. They also played the Rock on the Range festival in Columbus, Ohio. The band released its debut album, Light From Above, on March 18, 2008.
Black Tide was founded in Miami, Florida in 2004 by guitarist Gabriel Garcia and his older brother Raul Garcia. Raul recruited second guitarist Alex Nuñez. At the time, Gabriel Garcia was 11 years old and Nuñez was just 13 years old. Garcia and Nuñez recruited bassist Zachary Sandler and drummer Steven Spence, after Raul’s departure from the group. This completed the band’s lineup. Originally known as Radio, the band’s name was changed to Black Tide by Interscope records soon after its inception. The band started playing local shows, eventually gaining the attention of record labels due to the members’ young age and talent. In 2005, Black Tide signed a demo deal with Atlantic Records as Radio. The deal lasted for only a year, before the band was spotted by a record executive for EMI, who notified Interscope Records of the band. By mid 2007, Black Tide was signed on to Interscope.

I know Gabe. He's not a pop kind of guy, trust me. He's an oxymoron type guy, the metalist of the metals. It's odd though - his music is good, but it shows no maturity. It fails at the fact that, it doesn't have much thought.

Thrash is a cross between NWOBHM and classic hardcore punk. Please tell me where the classic hardcore punk influence is in this bands sound.

This band is a legitimate Thrash Metal band, just because idiots like you can move forward with the world doesn't make them "cookie cutter pop rock". May I also remind you that Michael Jackson is Classified as a Pop artist and many of his songs were played at parties and have rock roots. Never did I once say he had no talent.

"3. quit dissing someones charts by calling it party pop rock when you have micheal jackson halfway up yours" Michael Jackson had more talent in his pinky toe than this band will ever have in their entire bodies for the rest of their lives. Also, MJ has nothing to do with "party pop rock". You can't pigeonhole him into a genre. These guys on the other hand are lame ass cookie cutter pop rock.
