Artist History Some people think that this rock'n'roll thing is a laugh, a bit of cheeky fun to be had until the royalties come pouring in. Those who have lived it aren't quite so sure, however. Take Seafood. In 2001, the London-based four-piece were sent to Mission Sound studios in New York to record their second album, When Do We Start Fighting with Eli Janney from Girls Against Boys at the production desk and special guest appearances lined up for the weekends. Sounds brilliant, right? Right. Apart from a few 'Boot Camp' style regulations such as the fact that the whole album had to be recorded and mixed in four weeks. The band had already been squeezed together for months writing the album in a shoebox in Fulham. Not all of the songs were finished when they touched down at JFK airport. The apartment they were renting in Brooklyn was shared with "hairy mattresses" and the resident cockroaches. Back home the band's label was about to lose its worldwide backing. And the producer's wife was eight months pregnant. Oh joy. Oh joy. Seafood then: four young tykes called David Line (vocals/guitar), Caroline Banks (drums/vocals), Charles MacLeod (guitar) and Kevin Hendrick (bass/vocals). Four people, who, since their inception in 1997, have released seven singles, one full-length album called 'Surviving The Quiet' and one mini-album called 'Messenger in the Camp'. Toured the UK. Toured the US. Toured Japan. Flavor of the month for a whole, uh, month, back in 1998. Now slowly, stealthily developing as a rock act with a sensitive side, an intelligent edge and utterly cracking tunes. Confuse people because they are a guitar act which has more than one idea at any one time.

Group Members David Line (vocals/guitar) Caroline Bands (drums/vocals) Charles MacLeod (guitar) Kevin Hendrick (bass/vocals)

Press Reviews "An entralling album with guitar fuzz and enough hooks to raise the Titanic." - NME "If this is the sound of the fruits of the sea, then this album must have been torn from the belly of a huge, seriously pissed-off shark. A fine catch." - Kerrang
