The Tyde, Three's Co.

If you're like me, you already ordered the new Tyde album, Three's Co., from Rough Trade several months ago when it was released in the UK. If you didn't, though, don't fret - the album's finally coming out in the U.S. next Tuesday on Rough Trade America.

If you're unfamiliar with The Tyde, think of the catchiest, poppiest rock song you've ever heard and add a California surfer vibe to the mix. Alternatively, you can go with Rough Trade's description, which states that Three's Co. "connects the dots between Bob Dylan, the Byrds, the Flying Burrito Brothers and Felt." Either way, the Tyde make some great rock and roll, and I strongly suggest you check them out.

For a sneak peak of the new album, head here to listen to three tracks ("Brock Landers", "Do It Again", and "Separate Cars). Also, if you're on the West Coast, be sure to catch the band on tour over the next couple of weeks. Dates:
