I felt a slight change was needed from last week, where I, with a hint of red face, admitted that I only knew the one song from the band in question. I usually fucking HATE people like that.
So this time, a band I pretty much have everything of (including one mad spending spree when I saw them live, where they were offering their otherwise impossible to buy singles at just £1 each).
Why are they impossible to buy? Because the band in question, Seafood, are like a great number of bands I like. They'll never sell out a stadium. They won't have their songs covered on the X Factor and your average "rock" fan would choke on his Kings of Leon album if you asked if they'd heard of them. But, and here's the important part, they have a small but utterly devoted fan base, mainly due to being kick-ass.
They do melodic rock, lo-fi noise and sometimes even acoustic ballads. They're both awesome and humble live AND they covered "Walking in the Air" from kids Christmas classic The Snowman as a b-side, and turned it into a nightmarish cut of stabbing guitars and distorted vocals.
They are Seafood. This is Cloaking. And if the chorus doesn't have you moving, you're legally dead.
