British Sea Power

British Sea Power are:

Yan - vocals and guitar.
Noble - guitar.
Hamilton - bass and vocals.
Wood - drums.
Eamon - keyboards and percussion.

British Sea Power play amplified rock music and are based in Brighton, East Sussex. Over the past couple of years, they have variously found themselves sharing tea and talk with Julian Casablancas, John McEnroe, Jarvis Cocker, Julian Cope and Jeremy Vine (just to stick to the letter Js). You have to ask yourself, how on earth did this happen?

The British Sea Power story really started in Kendal, Cumbria, up beside the English Lake District. It was here that brothers Hamilton and Yan attended the same school as drummer Woody. After finishing his exams, Yan relocated to Reading, Berkshire, where he met a guitarist from Leeds called Noble. Hamilton and Wood came down to Reading to join the jamwagon and, in essence, British Sea Power had begun. However, it wasn't until the band moved to Brighton that anyone noticed.
