SHARK SPEED – West Coast Tour (Aug 15 – 29)
——————————————————-
* In support of debut full-length, Sea Sick Music
* Recording new EP in October
——————————————————-
Beginning tomorrow, Provo, Utah’s Shark Speed will leave for a two week tour of the West Coast in support of its debut full-length, Sea Sick Music.
Overflowing with wonderfully tangled chords, summersaulting rhythms and vocals that easily hit all the highs without sacrificing the lows, Sea Sick Music keeps you intrigued with unexpected electronic flourishes and subtle touches of brass. Still, the unforgettable melodies and hook-filled choruses are the real show stoppers. For a debut album – for any album – Sea Sick Music is incredibly accomplished and varied, not to mention fun and completely entertaining.
Listen to “Battle Born” (Free mp3)
- An enjoyable release with wonderful texture and great songs. – Punknews.org
- Sea Sick Music comes out of the gate strong and never loses that momentum. – The Punk Site
- Packed full of sing-it-loud choruses that are the centerpiece to each complex creation. – The 405
- A very fun and intriguing record…they’ve created something that is uniquely their own. – Pastepunk
- An incredible collection of music recommended for fans of American Football or Ra Ra Riot. – Go211
- There’s talent, plenty of humor, and feisty memorability. Another band to watch closely. – AbsolutePunk
Sea Sick Music was recorded and produced by Pollen’s Bob Hoag (The Ataris, Dear And The Headlights, The Format) and was self-released by Shark Speed earlier this summer (05/12). It’s available from the band at shows, as well as digitally from iTunes. In October, Shark Speed will be teaming up with Hoag once again to record a new EP. More details soon…
