Seedling (three girls and a boy, playing "catchy guitar pop you can dance to") were press darlings in The Netherlands, but also toured the U.K. eight times. They had one particularly famous English fan: John Peel. Seedling first played on Peel's radio show on May 16th 2001. Two proper 'Peel Sessions' followed: the first in January 2002, the second in July 2003 their second studio-session was broadcast. Peel regularly played Seedling songs on his Radio 1 and World Service shows.
Seedling split up in 2004.
