   About The Ocean Band

The Ocean Band are a Singapore-based band who, having exhausted every covers playing club in the country and their own collective patience, have moved on to playing and recording their own music.

Since their formation in 2003, they have been the house band at The Crazy Elephant (Singapore's leading blues bar), visited Holland and France for a mini-tour and opened for American band Hoobastank in '04. In November '05, they represented Singapore in the finals of the World Battle Of The Bands (www.worldbattleofthebands.com) in Hong Kong. 2006 saw them on the main stage of the Sembawang Festival back in Singapore and, shortly afterwards, in the Esplanade Concert Hall (making it their fifth gig within the Esplanade).

Their debut album 'BARCODES' has received positive reviews in the press and the band are currently working on their second full length record.
The band's music is the result of such diverse influences as Pearl Jam, Jeff Buckley, Police, Led Zeppelin, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Who, The Beatles, Tori Amos, The Rolling Stones, Bob Marley, Manfred Mann's Earth Band et al. The Ocean Band has always been at its best on stage and have played several hundred gigs in Singapore and overseas, to uniformly excellent response.

Hey guys, we've been recording our songs for our demo and doing it all DIY using a borrowed Line6 Toneport and Ableton Live. :)

I've mixed and mastered 2 songs so far and they're up on our MySpace page, with more to come once I find the time to polish them up, so keep checking back for more new tracks!

It's my first attempt at being producer/sound engineer for the band (having had no prior training) so feedback is welcome!

Cheers,
Shaun
