The Sea are a sibling duet, hailing from London via Cornwall. Peter and Alex have been playing music together since childhood and formed The Sea in 2007.
In a relatively short time they have accomplished a fair amount to be proud of, not only have they recorded their debut album Get It Back, with the legendary John Cornfield at Sawmills Studio in Cornwall, but they have also toured America twice, the most recent tour culminating in New York at the CMJ Music Marathon from where the New York Observer commented: “The Sea, I thought they were amazing”.
Drawing influence from Blues, Rock and Jazz, The Beatles, Dylan, Led Zep, Cream, Django, Robert Johnson, and other inspirational Artists, The Sea are Blues Rock fusion with a melodic shave.
For the past 18 months The Sea have been jumping in a clapped out ex post office transit van, driving around the country and sleeping in service station trucker car parks, playing everywhere they can from the usual venues to their own House Invasion tour where they played in fans’ houses gardens and bedrooms through to many of the UK’s independent festivals and even managing their debut appearance at Glastonbury opening the left field stage to a packed tent.
This constant touring has earned them many fans, including clothes designer Zandra Rhodes, who liked them so much she decided to design them some stage clothes, the first band she has worked with since Freddy Mercury and Queen, so after a few meetings and measurements the band are now the proud owners of outfits with as much colour as their music.
The Sea’s double A side single LOVE LOVE LOVE / SAY IT AGAIN is released on 23rd February 09
The debut album GET IT BACK is released on 9th March 09
