There’s something completely endearing about The Seamonsters. The six piece band from Sheffield make honest and undeniably charming indie music with bright, sepia tinged guitars, eclectic and interesting drums and falsetto vocals. Each member is properly utilised too, with bass-lines, keys or lead guitar shining through at different times and highlighting a strong collective songwriting ability for such a young band (the members are 17/18).

The Seamonsters’ self-made videos depict scenes that anyone who was a teenager in the UK can relate to and also highlight a strong DIY ethic. They draw from UK indie such as The Wombats, whilst there are also pop punk and emo elements such as Modern Baseball to their sound. There are only live demo recordings online right now, but the band have promised more (and they say even better) music is coming in the next few months, so they’re definitely one to keep an eye on.
