Bert Malcom

The Tidalwaves aren’t chasing trends.
They’re building a world.
A world where genre is a suggestion, emotion is the engine, and every song feels like a wave that hits harder than the last.

This is music for people who don’t fit neatly into boxes — because neither does the band.

The Tidalwaves blend pop, American reggae, emo, and alternative‑grunge into a genre‑breaking sound built around the original music of South Dakota artist Bert Malcom. With a rotating lineup of trained musicians and a live show that hits like a storm, The Tidalwaves deliver raw emotion, heavy grooves, and unpredictable energy.
