CAUSTIC WAVES - melodic alt-rock/post-hardcore with a pinch of late-90s nostalgia.
Following the release of the debut 6-track EP FULL CIRCLE in 2023, the second chapter of CAUSTIC WAVES is finally being unveiled in 2025.
QUICKSAND is the lead single from the upcoming new album, ECHOES, and continues the familiar alt-rock / post-hardcore sound established on FULL CIRCLE. Melodic vocals sit atop a groove of distorted guitar and rhythmic bass, backed by layers of harmonies.
Launched in 2022, CAUSTIC WAVES is the musical outlet for Glasgow-based one-man-band, Neil Thomas. With previous experience as guitarist in alt-metal band KEITEL in the mid-2000s and bassist in the harmony-driven power-pop band <a href="spotify:artist:5WXjEeavcfFSvmfCqOSy6E" data-name="The Chinaskis">The Chinaskis</a> in the 2010s, CAUSTIC WAVES now also establishes Neil as a vocalist. Embracing his love of 90s/00s alternative rock/metal, post-hardcore and grunge, Neil takes influences from bands of that era such as <a href="spotify:artist:3YcBF2ttyueytpXtEzn1Za" data-name="Incubus">Incubus</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:0GQXHlIz6zMT0IeXQq26Pt" data-name="Far">Far</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6Ghvu1VvMGScGpOUJBAHNH" data-name="Deftones">Deftones</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:0qB0cTENhSUc0feov5qbg0" data-name="Helmet">Helmet</a> .
The album was produced and mixed by Neil at his home studio in Glasgow, Scotland. After mixing, it was given an extra layer of mastering beef by acclaimed producer Lewis Johns, known for his work with <a href="spotify:artist:3ZzJazQ7LeJX4OzBPJSunZ" data-name="earthtone9">earthtone9</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:58d50jBQXhOetEGuSBgu64" data-name="Employed To Serve">Employed To Serve</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:2AOTmilsEJDBEM6SIHFFy6" data-name="Blanket">Blanket</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:38vNZvHEjUU9XlzlV43H9T" data-name="OVERSIZE">OVERSIZE</a> and many more exciting UK bands.
