THE LIVING SEA
Modern Day Detachment Records/Lunch Records
Madeline EP
5-song CD
Formed in 2004, this band has gone through several lineup changes (including the departure of lead singer Adam Rich); they seem to have completely reinvented themselves with the addition of vocalist Catie Rae Zappala whose siren song wails above waves of reverb drenched guitar. Fans of Joy Division, My Bloody Valentine, Regina Spektor, Arcade Fire, and Slowdive will absolutely love this fresh approach to a nostalgic classic shoegaze. This is a band for the ages. I can’t wait to hear more. (Joel Simches)
"Traveling the quickest route from Point A to B requires a journey through the mind of
The Living Sea, a Boston-based rock and roll railroad of an ensemble that blends scratch acid vocal harmonies and angular guitars driven by echoing soundscapes and impulsive breaks. Self-described as "a thirteen year old gothic chick's favorite band, our name scrawled in Bic on her notebook,"Lunch Record darlings The Living Sea takes the best elements of Daryl Palumbo's epic compositions and dresses it up for the midnight ball." -the Pill
"Uneven but kinetic" - Sarah Tomlinson @ The Boston Globe
The Madeline EP... "a five-track spread of lush guitar textures, explosive rhythms, and vocals that soar through the din like a bottle rocket." - Michael Brodeur @ The Boston Phoenix
Over the past couple of years we have had the pleasure of playing with a ton of great bands including: Dear Leader, Stephen Brodsky, Kind of Like Spitting, St. Vincent, The Plastic Constellations, Kiss Me Deadly, Hockey Night, Pattern is Movement, Aberdeen City, Caspian, Hel Toro, Daniel Striped Tiger, Rest, Tiny Amps, Thee Electric Bastards, Hydronaut, Gold Streets, The Texas Governor, Radka, Maritime, Codetta, Howarewe Hawaii?, Constants, Look Mexico, Perennials, Retrosleeper, Slayer, Steely Dan, Michael Jackson.

3 bucks is a steal plus who want to give Steve Jobs the ability buy any kidney he wants anytime he wants. Buy Local and support an amazing Studio and band, I hope :)
