They look like your typical laid-back indie rockers, sporting
vintage tees and faded jeans. But aesthetically, Minneapolis rock
trio Story of the Sea share more in common with the bands they
grew up rocking out to Fugazi, the Pixies, Jawbox than many of the
independent groups currently topping the college charts.
Like their alt-rock forbears, Adam Prince (guitar/vocals), Ian
Prince (drums) and John McEwen (bass) put their hard-earned chops
to work on well-crafted rock songs brimming with inventive guitar
riffs and ferocious beats. They play with the unapologetic
precision and polish only accomplished artists can pull off.
Whether onstage or on the tracks of their debut album Enjoying
Fire, the band's seasoned, larger-than-life sound boldly contrasts
the trend toward lo-fi recordings and rough-around-the-edges
instrumentation currently dominating indie rock.
But Story of the Sea's refreshingly robust take on songwriting
isn't the only thing that keeps a listener coming back for more.
The band uses their powerful guitar-bass-drums formula to hammer
out everything from fist-pumping rock ballads to surprisingly
poppy, hook-laden tunes. Yet for all their remarkable versatility,
each track is unmistakably SOTS.
Which is why, after having spent time playing in plenty of other
successful Minneapolis bands like Houston, The Dames, Align and
Manplanet, Ian, Adam and John are happy to have a band that lets
them and their songs just be their denim-wearing selves.
