Drugs and alcohol (apparently). Also, we would like to say that anyone who is active in affecting change in this fucked up world can potentially have a song written 4 them...it is this inspiration that makes us feel that what we do is at least a little important...
Two if by Sea is a 5 piece electronic rock band from Baltimore, Maryland. Two if by Sea blends ambient electronics, guitars, live and triggered drums, and voices to create an original postpunk rock infused with the spirit and sensibility of late 70s/early 80s new wave.
Two if by Sea had its furtive, exploratory beginnings in 2001. We had begun surreptitious, late-night practices in the television studio at school. We started writing, each one of us tossing in influences as disparate as the next, showing ourselves to Baltimore in the Spring of 2002, and taking it to the road in January of 2003.
The Debut LP, "Translations", released on Speedbump Recordings, is the first proper effort recorded with the "album" in mind. Please check it out. We will be releasing a remix ep in the fall of 2004.
According to the Baltimore City Paper, "Two if by Sea has manic intensity in spades…."
Each show brings more movement from the crowd, and Two if by Sea responds in kind with increasingly dynamic and engaging shows in support of bands like the Q & not U, the Jealous Sound, the Start, ENON, Shannon Wright, the Witnesses, IMA Robot, and Radio 4. We are only gonna tour, so maybe we can talk to you in your town!
