Reception

Whether you are living in Scotland, or on the far side of the world, Tide Lines have created an album to make you feel at home wherever you are. - ReviewSphere

...a band who have stepped neatly into the canyon left by Runrig’s retirement with their big, hearty, commercial Celtrock sound and tear-in-my-Buckfast sentimentalised Scotia lyrics about hopes and dreams, lonely towns and big countries. - The Scotsman

Its towering melodies are matched with the biggest of hearts, as Robert Robertson’s impassioned vocals capture the romance of recognising that you’re in the middle of a moment that you’ll look back upon in years to come... Tide Lines now look to step up another level with a collection of songs that are infused with rousing hooks, spine-tingling emotions and widespread, expansive ambition. It achieves all of that without losing sight of their roots. - Total Ntertainment

Anchored in their Highlands roots, Tide Lines have evolved to become a modern alt-pop band with universal, international appeal and the anthemic, emotional punch of classic American heartland rock. Robert Robertson’s voice is clear and confident as he delivers stirring lyricism rich with forward-thinking optimism. - Scottish Music Network
