The origins of Seize date back to 1997 when Sandrine Gouriou and Steven Young collaborated to form the project ‘Seize The Day’, with the duo going on to produce their debut E.P ‘Blades’. A year later, and now simply going by the name ‘Seize’, the project went from strength to strength. Following their debut gig in London in 2000, the pair went on to perform across the country to tremendous critical acclaim. Seize was officially born.

It wasn’t long before the duo’s second single, ‘Victim’, was released on 12” white label, featuring a club orientated remix that proved highly successful in Ibiza. Spurred on by their initial success, 2001 saw Seize release their first album ‘Lunacy’. The album won outstanding reviews across the world music press, drawing comparisons to the likes of ‘Massive Attack’ and ‘Portishead’.

In order to expand the scope of their live performances, Seize recruited bass guitarist Rosie Harris in 2002, and by now the group were heading towards a more breakbeat and trance direction. With the help of producer Mark O’Grady, the band also gained a reputation as talented remixers, with the Seize version of The Nursery’s ‘Caprice’ proving extremely popular. It wasn’t long however before Seize were back on the road and with new material, touring in 2003 across the UK and Europe to promote their forthcoming album ‘The Other Side of Your Mind’, and to great acclaim. Amongst others, Radio One and Future Music picked up on the new album and both made Seize a ‘featured artist’.

This success led to the band being signed by Belgian label ‘Alfa Matrix’ in 2003. ‘The Other Side of Your Mind’ was released in November of that year, reaching number 8 in the German Alternative Charts. After the album release, Seize enjoyed many successful shows including the Wave Gotik Treffen festival in Leipzig. The success of 2004 also paved the way for Sandrine, Steven and Rosie to spend most of 2005 touring with Steve Strange as a backing band for Visage, playing to crowds of 10,000 people. The following year saw the return of Seize on the tour circuit, this time with the addition of drummer Sean Suleman. Highlights included supporting Apoptygma Berzerk on their UK tour, playing the Swedish Alternative Music Awards and being asked to support Front 242 at one of their two sell out 25th anniversary shows in Brussels.

These positive experiences mean Seize have returned to work on their third album, ‘Constant Fight’, fresh and with new ideas for re-vamping their style. Despite losing Sean as drummer to other commitments, 2008 has been both hectic and productive, with Seize back in the studio on a near constant basis. As a result, the band have seen the completion of their third album ‘Constant Fight’, the release of their first ever video, ‘Who’s Your Teacher’, and the inclusion of Michel (drums) and Ellie (guitar) as the latest members of the Seize family. You can buy The Other Side of Your Mind (normal version and remixes) from iTunes:

Some Bizzare Friend.

Because of a production problem (the wrong 12” version of Say Hello Wave Goodbye was used) we have been forced to move the release date of the Deluxe Edition back by 2 weeks.

The release date of Soft Cell "Heat" 2xcd Remix package will remain September 15th.
Sept 15th

Kind Regards Stevo
