The Scourge of the Sea write sweet golden pop music. Swiftly tilting songs
surround ghosted melodies and jangled hooks...with the cover and comfort of
darkness from the first time you saw the ocean, the first time you got lost and
the first time you lost. Smart and literate songwriting coupled with dreamy,
atmospheric arrangements don't displace simple sing-a-longs over fractious
electric guitars.
Living in the heart of downtown Lexington, Ky, The Scourge of the Sea features
Andrew English, Justin Craig and Robby Cosenza (currently of the Apparitions and
formerly of Pontius CoPilot-recently named one of Kentucky's top 10 in Filter
magazine alongside Will Oldham, My Morning Jacket, Slint and Loretta Lynn).
Since forming in the winter of 2004, the band has continued to maintain an
increasingly loyal and healthy following on their own, from rock clubs to art
galleries, attics to festivals. The Scourge of the Sea has recently shared bills
with Stars, Fruit Bats, Paleo, Langhorne Slim, Marbles, Rogue Wave and Clem
Snide.
The band's releases include a vinyl demonstration single, "My Sweet One b/w Out
of the Trash," out on Paper Records and the upcoming full-length album, Make Me
Armored, available Spring 2006 from independent mainstay Alias Records.
