Miami hard rock quartet Black Tide will hit the road later this year as part of the Best Buy Music Gear Stage on the second annual Rockstar Energy Drink UPROAR Festival. UPROAR will run from August 26th through October 15th, conquering North America with a massive active rock lineup which features veteran acts Avenged Sevenfold, Bullet For My Valentine, Sevendust and more. Additional details and promotions will be revealed in the coming weeks, so fans are encouraged to keep checking the newly launched UPROAR website at: http://www.RockstarUproar.com for updates.
Black Tide will take the stage on UPROAR 2011 fresh off the release of its highly anticipated sophomore album Post Mortem, which is slated to hit stores August 23rd on DGC/Interscope Records.

Black Tide guitarist/vocalist Gabriel Garcia issued the following statement in anticipation of the release of Post Mortem.
“August 23rd 2011 will be huge step in our lives. Not only as a band, but as people. This record means everything to us. We poured our heart and soul into this and have been waiting for it to come out like the rest of you.
“‘Post Mortem’ is the name of the record. It means ‘after death’. The reason we love this title is because we feel that we are so lucky to be able to be doing this, and having an opportunity to put our music out there is honestly the closest thing to heaven we have on this earth. It’s a like a dream.
“We love all our fans and hope to see you all at the Rockstar Energy UPROAR Festival this summer! This is the beginning of a long, crazy and yet beautiful ride.”
Post Mortem was written and recorded in the summer of 2010, and is the follow-up to 2008’s Light From Above, which garnered instant critical acclaim from Rolling Stone, Spin, Revolver and more.
The band followed the release of Light From Above with an appearance on the inaugural Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival, performed on the main stage of Download 2008 and capped it off by playing the entire ’09 Vans Warped Tour.
In April 2011 Black Tide was added as support for the only two announced U.S. dates of Iron Maiden’s Final Frontier World Tour, which took place in the band’s home state of Florida.
