Hightide Era

"The band name Hightide Era refers to both the full and brimming nature of the group’s sound and also the ecological realities of the world they live in. Let’s not worry too much about whether Inklings actually understand English or not, ‘kay? Kay."

- Live from the Squid Research Lab

Hightide Era is a three-person piano rock band. Their songs were added in Splatoon's August Update.

Members

 * Taka (タカ), the band's pianist and vocalist, is a double-lined fusilier and started playing the piano at the age of 4.
 * Nishida (ニシダ), the band's guitarist, is a herring and the youngest child of their 247 siblings.
 * Kuze (クゼ), the band's drummer, is a stonefish. They like clothing and came up with the band's outfits.

Trivia

 * Their logo resembles the Japanese character "鰓" (Era), meaning "gill". This references the species of their members as well as the "Era" in their name, which is the same in the Japanese version of Splatoon.
 * Karen, the pianist of Ink Theory, started her band with inspiration from Hightide Era. This is also reflected in the outfits worn by both bands: Hightide Era wears mainly black with red neckties, and Ink Theory wears mainly black with gold ties.
