Seafood are frequently described as “A London post-grunge band”. This is patently not true. Kevin and drummer Caroline Banks are from Uxbridge in Middlesex, while David Line (guitar/vocals) and Charles MacLoed (guitar) were brought up in Guilford, Surrey. “It’s all outskirts of London,” says Kevin, defensively. “It might mean something I reckon, coming from that area. I found it pretty dull, personally.” Nobody around here has yet managed to work out what ‘post-grunge’ actually means. Seafood’s biographies often claim that the band formed via an advert in Loot, for a flat. This is extremely true. Caroline and Kevin wanted somewhere to live. David and Charles were looking for a boy drummer and a girl bass player. Kevin and Caroline (right sex, wrong instruments or right instruments, wrong sex, depending on your state of mind) just about fitted the bill. After two gigs in the summer of 1997 Seafood has already set the indie underground’s wires buzzing. After three gigs they could have been signed to Fierce Panda but that label’s A&R department got pissed at the Kerrang! party and turned up too late to see them. At their fourth gig - upstairs at Highbury Garage in October ‘97 - they were finally snapped up by a more sober Fierce Panda. Everything else is just confusion, pure and baffling. “We’re a very contradictory band,” muses Kevin. “We argue a lot,” fidgets David. They aren’t wrong.

Noooo! Seafood is dead. I'm so sad... According to their myspace site, the band is over. What a shame... I love this band to no end. It's painful to think they are gone... but when I think back to their phenomenal songs that I've listen to a million times and all the great moments attached to them all there is left to say is: THANK YOU SEAFOOD. Thanks for giving voice to my soul.

All Hail Seafood, anyone else think they just got better with each album? Thinking of updating the wiki-info, already uploaded a much more recent pic. Feel free to "vote it up".

Criminally underrated band - can't understand how they've always gotten critical acclaim yet failed get any wider recognition.

Loved Seafood alongside My Vitriol, early Idlewild and early Placebo years ago. Surviving the Quiet and When Do We Start Fighting are great, even Messenger in the Camp has it's moments, but I thought As the Cry Flows was rubbish. Not heard the latest album yet. Just listened to Signal Sparks - boring.

An amazing band. Not a bad album between the four of them. Impossible to choose a favourite song but I'll go for 'Splinter', 'What May Be The Oldest' and 'Heats Walks Against Me'.
