The Mystic Tide were an American rock band who have been credited for creating some of the first psychedelic anthems.[1] They have also been called one of the best garage bands of the mid 1960s.[2]
The group formed on Long Island and released a total of four singles between 1965 and 1967, all of which were written by the band's guitar player, Joe Docko. The band broke up in 1967 after little commercial success.[2] Many years later in 1994 Docko recorded some new material and that along with three demos, the band's four original singles, and their B-sides would be put out as a CD by Distortions records. Released more than 25 years after the group had disbanded, Solid Sound/Solid Ground, was the first and only album the band ever made.[3][4]
