Band To Most Definitely Watch: Hey Ocean!
I had never heard of this threesome until I watched last night's episode of One Tree Hill and heard their amazing song, "Islands" in the background, and boy, am I grateful. Hey Ocean! is a Canadian band consisting of Ashleigh Ball (Vocals/Flute), David Beckingham (Vocals/Guitar), and Dave Vertesi (Vocals/Bass). Creating music with life, spirit and harmonic entities that will knock your socks off, Hey Ocean! is able to stand out amongst a crowd of "typical" indie bands, pushing their way to the top with beautiful music. Completely and totally independent, and forming their own label, Pop Machine (along with another band, Said The Whale), they are able to surpass their Canadian borders and share their music with the world. They have released two albums, 2 EPs, a few singles, and already have a new album, IS, coming out this May, on which "Islands," will be featured.
By the way, if you live in Canada, they are on tour now! As long as I get to see them live in New York, at least once, I'll be happy. These three are a must listen trio. Keep up with them on their super cool website LoveHeyOcean.
Watch a video for "Big Blue Wave" from their most recent Big Blue Wave EP below!
