Stonebride Post “Time and Tide” Video from Smiles Revolutionary LP

Posted in Whathaveyou on October 29th, 2024 by JJ Koczan

Bookended by harmonies from guitarist Siniša Krneta and bassist Matija Ljevar, the heavy psych and stoner rocking “Time and Tide” appeared on the 2024 album Smiles Revolutionary from long-running Zagreb four-piece Stonebride. The band have a new video up for the song, which since I didn’t get to hear the album (yet! no expiry date for music; the player’s below) I’m glad to have come down the PR wire as an opportunity to get caught up.

It’s been six years since the band released their Animals on Display EP, and the track is an immediate reminder of how much there is to dig in their sound, putting microgenres next to each other in complementary ways while forging an individual impression therefrom. They’re a bit between styles, but as they bring together ethereal and grounded intentions, they also make the groove easy and a pleasure to follow.

I’m sure you didn’t miss the album, because you’re better at this than me, but it’s at the bottom in case you want a refresher after the video, as well as for my own getting on board. The “Time and Tide” video is down there as well, obviously.

STONEBRIDE: Croatia’s Leading Heavy Rock Destroyers Share New Video for ‘TIME AND TIDE’

Croatian quartet share their first ever music video for searing new single, taken from their fifth studio album, Smiles Revolutionary…

Stonebride’s new album Smiles Revolutionary is out now on PDV Records | Order here: https://stonebride.bandcamp.com/album/smiles-revolutionary-2

Since their formation in Zagreb in 2005, Stonebride have blazed a trail across Europe, racking up countless headline tours, festival appearances and support shows with the likes of Monster Magnet, Karma to Burn, Yawning Man, Elder, Mos Generator and more.

Hand in hand with their impressive live reputation, Croatia’s leading heavy rock destroyers have also developed a habit over the past two decades of putting out some of the genre’s most promising records. Since the release of 2008’s Inner Seasons the quartet has nurtured a sound weighted somewhere between ’90s alt rock and dark psychedelia, while cultivating riffs from the vast, verdant realms of stoner, sludge, and doom.

This month the band will release their first ever official music video for fan-favourite and closing epic on their latest and perhaps finest album – Smiles Revolutionary – which was released in May on PDV Records. Produced and directed by close friend Tvrtko (aka Vidokk) and starring Mario Dobrić, the video for ‘Time and Tide’ finally shines a light on the band and presents a visual story to the deep and meaningful themes behind their music.

“Our new single ‘Time and Tide’ is about the transience of time, soul and spirit searching, and dealing with personal loss and mental health,” explains drummer, Stjepan Kolobarić. “The modern age is one of madness and technology; chaos, war horrors, life challenges and imposed societal norms. It feels like we’re increasingly losing touch with ourselves and the energy that motivates us all so this song champions individuality. It’s about that desire for creative expression and, above all else, enthusiasm, which fuels us and make us feel alive.”

The band’s fifth studio album, Smiles Revolutionary, was released earlier in the year on PDV Records. Order here: https://stonebride.bandcamp.com/album/smiles-revolutionary-2
