 British Sea Power in concert British Sea Power is a five-man band from Brighton, England. They are an indie rock band, similar in sound to both David Bowie and The Smiths. They have also been compared to Joy Division and Talking Heads.
The band is made up of Yan (vocals/guitar), Hamilton (vocals/bass), Noble (lead guitar), Eamon (keys/marching drum) and Wood (drums). They dress in uniform, most frequently RAF Jackets and Navy flairs. The band have somewhat bizarre interests, ranging from Field Marshal Montgomery and Charles Lindbergh to Czech architecture.
Equally strange are the band's live performances, during which the stage is covered in tree foliage and plastic birds.
They released their debut album, The Decline of British Sea Power in 2003 to critical acclaim. However, the album has only charted in the lower reaches of the UK Top 75 Album Chart. They are due to release their next album in March, 2005.
