Low Tide Radio is a sun-bleached, harmony-soaked, semi-true oral history of The Visors —a long-forgotten (or possibly mythical) Southern California beach band that somehow never made it big but maybe should have. Formed in 1973 by five burned-out former college golfers with a love of vocal harmonies, surf culture, and late-’60s Americana, The Visors carved a grassroots legacy up and down San Diego County’s piers, beach bars, and skate parks. Their sound—part Beach Boys, part Eagles, part cosmic accident—earned them quiet respect from rock royalty (Brian Wilson, Don Henley, maybe even Paul McCartney?)… but almost no actual fame. Told through a series of humorous, heartwarming, and often absurd vignettes—complete with golf disasters, studio mishaps, UFO sightings, mistaken identities, and backstage fish tacos—this book captures the spirit of a band that never charted but never gave up. At the center is their obsessive, neurotic Scottish manager Seamus Carlisle, part hype man, part therapist, part delusional optimist. Alongside a nostalgic deep dive from a modern-day music journalist chasing a hazy memory, Low Tide Radio becomes a portrait of a band that may or may not have existed… but left behind echoes in the sea spray of Southern California.
