Riptide is a Psychobilly-band from Hengelo in The Netherlands. Lead singer and guitar-player Martin Welberg started Riptide in 1994 with Dagmar Mebius (Double Bass) and Rodney Lok (Drums), two Psychos who had been in the 'scene' for quite a long time.
The band started out playing covers and after a year of songwriting they started to play only their own songs. Till the end of 1996 Riptide did gigs and festivals together with bands such as: Batmobile, Mad Sin, Hot Boogie Chillun and Asmodeus.
Late 2004 when Serge Kokos, Dagmar Mebius and Jan Jaap Elzenga where playing in a band called The Glaives, they asked Martin to play lead guitar and he joined the band.
After a while Jan Jaap decided to go solo as Ottoboy The One Man Trashband, and Riptide was reborn after 10 years.

The first gig after all those years was as a support band (with the Monolith Monsters) for The Meteors, who are well known as the founders of Psychobilly.
Riptide recorded this live-demo during that gig.
