The Tides (band)

Later the band included a live guitarist Stephen Leacock, who went on to play drums in General Fiasco with Owen Strathern.

The album received critical acclaim by the music press including Hotpress, Daily Mirror and BBC ATL saying 'if Oasis could write the likes of All Good for Me, there would be a day of national celebration'.

The band would play regularly in Magherafelt's rock bar Bryson's as well as other venues throughout Northern Ireland.

Towards the last months of the band, as the album was released, Strathern drifted away from the music style and focussed on General Fiasco.

Owen still plays in General Fiasco and hosts the open mic night every Monday in Filthy McNasty's bar in Belfast.
