What happens when 4 full-time workers start a band?
Being in a band together is a fantastic experience but can be challenging, especially on top of a full-time office job. Trying to fix everything by yourself is hard: booking gigs, trying to find fair-trade and sustainable ways to make merch t-shirts, tax return, rehearsal, fixing presskit, trying to work out that section of that song “that doesn’t quite work yet”. It can also be frustrating when you find out that all sorts of distribution services, music services and platforms seem to make it harder for you rather than lending a helping hand.
At the end of the day we are very happy to be making music together, and we can’t deny many times we’ve been rushing from our office to get to rehearsal and let it out. I guess our songs have also gotten a bit less cutsie and a bit more angry. Always blame the grind!
Bottom line is: come see us next year and you won’t regret it. We’ve been working really hard and next year will be great!
Keep an eye out for those songs we’ll start sharing soon
Lots of love,
Barren Sea
