The Riptide Movement are spreading awareness about the environmental pollution through music. Their recent EP, Plastic Oceans, is more than a song; it’s a message. Within the bubbly ambience of the track is the band’s message to keep the oceans from being polluted even more than they are now. It’s an important topic and a danger to the natural world, but The Riptide Movement will be using their touring run along the coastal cities to spread the word.
