Ark

Description

While early album taster track Ark (premiered by Zane Lowe on Radio 1 at the end of 2014 as his Hottest Record In The World) displayed We Are The Oceans penchant for prog influenced, Led Zeppelin-esque bombast, lead single Do It Together is a raunchy blast of feedback drenched, sweat drenched rock aimed straight at the hips and the mosh pit. Letter to Michael, written as a heartfelt tribute to lead vocalist Liam Crombys father, shows a new found lyrical sensitivity while I Wanna Be and Shere Khan demonstrate the bands ability to kick out an earth shaking racket and are sure to be a firm favourite in the festival calendar this summer. Elsewhere, Remember to Remember Them is a perfect demonstration of the bands development and growing maturity as songwriters.

A listen to the whole of Ark leaves you in no doubt that We Are The Ocean Liam Cromby (vocals), Alfie Scully (guitar), Jack Spence (bass) and Tom Whittaker (drums)- are a band that have played its part in developing the UKs burgeoning rock scene from niche underground concern to todays arena-hogging, playlist-bothering supernova, now theyre in the mood to take their place at Rocks Top Table.
