Eddie and the Tide were a fixture on Bay Area rock radio (a rarity for an indie band) scoring many local hits including Running Wild, Running Free, One In A Million, Maybe I'll Get Lucky, Just Need A Little Rock and 'Till I Can't Run No More. Their video for Running Wild, Running Free won the MTV Basement Tapes and their LP I Do It For You won a Bammie for best independent release.
With sold out shows and local radio support The Tide were always seemingly one step from breaking out as a national act. They eventually did sign a major label deal with Atco Records and released two LP's before being dropped by the label. They released two more indie records before eventually breaking up in 1990.

If You Want To Rock
Eddie and the Tide Lyrics
Picked up all my things to please myself
My eyes are speeding on the lines
In the book where nelson said he felt
We have to keep ourselves outside
But if you want a double for your stunt
Or a spotter for when you shoot
For something bulletproof
If I have to work in outer space
This is how I will prepare
Sit beside you when you sing your songs
And breathe the red right of your hair
Damn and damn the eyes
That I have
That you burnt a hope in
I cant see thru it
She moves the furniture and lights
Overdue books and sleepless cigarettes
Subtitle this silent roof
And the birds that swing around
And the clouds that push em down
We're just thinking at the microphones
A little see of minor lights
Wrapping up in chords will leave you cold
Everyone's been question marked
Meet me here to follow this light
Across us and so clear
Try to keep the wonder near
My eyes are speeding on the lines
In the book where nelson said he felt
We have to keep ourselves outside
But if you want a double for your stunt
Or a spotter for when you shoot
For something bulletproof
If I have to work in outer space
This is how I will prepare
And breathe the red right of your hair
Damn and damn the eyes
That I have
That you burnt a hope in
I cant see thru it
She moves the furniture and lights
Overdue books and sleepless cigarettes
Subtitle this silent roof
And the birds that swing around
And the clouds that push em down
We're just thinking at the microphones
A little see of minor lights
Wrapping up in chords will leave you cold
Everyone's been question marked
Meet me here to follow this light
Across us and so clear
Try to keep the wonder near
