We are the Ocean - Go Now and Live

Dan Brown- Screaming vocals

Liam Cromby- Clean vocals, Rhythm guitar

Alfie scully- Lead guitar

Jack Spence- bass guitar

Tom Whittaker- drums, percussion

The second release from We are the Ocean, Go Now and Live does exactly what it says on the tin. The final track ‘Before I die’ vocalist Brown and rhythm guitarist Cromby take it in turn to sing ‘Take the time to enjoy the moments/Don’t waste your life/Next thing its all over.’

The band has taken a more mature approach to the composition of their eagerly anticipated second album. They have ditched the bleached blonde hair and the screamo vocals in favour of Brown’s grovelly, rich vocal tone. Even the lyrical content of their tracks ‘How do I explain how I feel?/ Every time I do there’s no one to turn to so why do I even try?’ to the video for The Waiting Room solidifies their transition from teenage upstarts to respected musicians. The video is not over complicated by a storyline and instead focuses on the band performing as a unit. Every word is executed by Cromby with such emotion I cannot draw my eyes away and is a sign that the band truly believe in the music the are producing.

It’s not going to be an album that will stay in my CD player for long, but worthy none the less.
