Just a matter of days away from the release of their sophamore EP ‘The Space Between Seconds’, Pete Devine sat down with PRNAV favourites Edit The Tide to get the inside track on this formidable release.
PD: Hi guys, great to chat with you again. So the new EP (‘The Space Between Seconds’) comes out on the 21st November. How would you describe the sound of the new EP?
ETT: This EP feels like a real milestone for us. The Space Between Seconds takes everything people connected with on our debut and pushes it further in every direction — it’s heavier, more progressive, and has far more emotionally charged lyrics. We wanted 
the riffs to land harder, the choruses to soar higher, and the lyrics to cut a little deeper. There’s a cinematic quality to the songs too; they’re built to hit you live, but we also wanted them to be something people could get lost in on headphones. It’s the most “us” we’ve ever sounded, and that’s why we’re so excited for people to finally hear it!
PD: You’ve approached the new EP as a 4-piece. Does being a 4-piece aid or hinder the band in any way compared to when you were a 5-piece?
ETT: Becoming a 4-piece has honestly tightened and strengthened the band in ways we didn’t expect. There’s a clarity and focus now — both musically and personally. Everyone has more space to contribute, and the arrangements breathe more naturally. Instead of trying to fill every corner of a track, we’ve learnt to embrace dynamics and let things build more organically.
Live, it’s brought this raw, locked-in energy that people have been commenting on at shows. It hasn’t hindered us at all; it’s made us work smarter and lean into what each of us does best. It feels like the right shape for who we are as a band right now.
PD: Can you tell us about the recording of the EP, where was it recorded, who wrote the tracks etc?
ETT: We recorded the EP at Longwave Studios with Romesh Dodangoda — which was a huge moment for us. He’s someone we’ve admired for years, and stepping into the studio with him really pushed us creatively. The sessions were intense in the best possible way; long days, plenty of laughing, plenty of sweating, and those magic moments where an idea suddenly becomes the part that defines the track.
Songwriting-wise, it was a full band effort. Someone might bring in a riff, a lyric idea, a beat or even just a feeling, and we’d build from there. Once we started bouncing ideas off each other, things started flowing quickly.
PD: How different is the new EP compared to 2024’s ‘Reflections In Sound’?
ETT: Reflections In Sound was very much us finding our feet and figuring out who we were musically. We experimented a lot and laid the foundations for what would become our sound.
With The Space Between Seconds, everything feels more considered and more confident. The heavier parts hit harder, the melodic moments have more weight behind them, and thematically the EP digs deeper into personal experiences. Working with Romesh helped us fine-tune that identity — we stripped away anything that didn’t serve the emotion of the song, and the result is something that feels far more mature and cohesive. It’s a big step forward for us.
PD: What is your favourite track on the EP?
ETT: Time & Error stands out as a real favourite. It captures the heart of the entire EP — the heaviness, the atmosphere, the vulnerability. It’s probably one of the most emotional tracks we’ve ever written, both lyrically and musically. It closes the EP in such a powerful way, and every time we listen back, it reminds us why we pushed ourselves so hard during the writing and recording process.
PD: Which track is the best to play live and why?
ETT: Dancing With The Shadows is always a highlight in the set. It has this perfect mix of darkness and uplift — the kind of energy that makes crowds move instantly. It’s intense, it’s rhythmic, and it really showcases who we are as a band. When that chorus kicks in and you see people singing it back, it’s electric. That’s the moment you feel everything connect.
PD: I’ve seen a lot of positive reviews coming in for the brilliant ‘The Cost of Standing Still’ single, how do you feel the reaction to it is going?
ETT: The response has blown us away, genuinely. It’s one of the heaviest songs we’ve ever put out, and it comes from a very real place emotionally — that feeling of frustration when life refuses to move. Seeing people connect so strongly with both the weight of the riffs and the meaning behind the lyrics has been incredible. It’s the kind of reaction that makes you feel like you’re on the right path creatively.
PD: Where can people pre-order/order the ‘The Space Between Seconds’?
ETT: All pre-orders and orders are available through our links on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and our official streaming pages. Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music — it’s all there. We always keep our socials updated, so if people follow us, they’ll never miss a thing.
PD: Talking earlier about playing live, have you got any gigs planned to support the release?
ETT: Definitely. We’ve got our EP release show at Blackcat in Bridgend on Friday 28th
November, which we’re absolutely buzzing for — nothing beats a home crowd! We recently played Hard Rock Hell Festival at the start of November, which was a huge milestone for us. On top of that, we’re lining up more UK dates into early 2026. We want to take these new tracks to as many places as possible.
PD: What is the rest of the year looking like for Edit The Tide, any plans made yet for 2026?
ETT: The end of 2025 is going to be flat-out with the hometown headliner, videos, and getting the EP into as many ears as possible. 2026 is already shaping up to be exciting — more shows, more festivals, and we’ve already started sketching ideas for new music. The goal is to keep the momentum going and start laying the foundations for what will eventually become our debut album.
PD: What is the best way for people to support Edit The Tide?
ETT: Honestly, every little bit helps. Streaming the songs, following our socials, sharing the music, coming to shows, grabbing merch — it all makes a huge difference, especially for a band at our stage. But more than anything, talking to us and talking about us. Word of mouth has been massive for our growth, and we really appreciate every person who takes the time to get involved.
PD: Any final words for the readers?
ETT: Just a huge thank you. The support we’ve had so far — from fans, from the Welsh scene, from publications — has been incredible, and it really does mean the world to us. We’re unbelievably proud of The Space Between Seconds, and we can’t wait for people to hear it. If you’re into big riffs, massive choruses, and honest lyrics, come join us at a show. We’ll see you in the pit.
