To the Sea is a five-piece indie rock band based in Seattle, WA. Their sound and songwriting style has been compared to bands like Radiohead, The Verve, Travis, and Death Cab for Cutie with hints of Coldplay, The National, and Wilco. To the Sea is a fairly new creation. The band was formed in the fall of ‘08 and their first show was on January 2nd, ’09. However, the story of To the Sea reaches back many years. Danny, Jon, and George were in a high school garage rock band together and were only acquaintances of Brandon and Lee. But, as is often the case, the band split up after high school and everybody went their own way. George moved to Denver and flew airplanes, Jon moved to New York City and hunted the ghost of Woody Guthrie, Danny studied music in Idaho, and Brandon studied audio production in Florida. Brandon returned home after two years and he and Lee moved over the mountains to Seattle and formed a band called Radiolake. After six years however, the pain and separation anxiety became too much to bare. Danny, Jon, and George dropped everything and relocated to Seattle where they formed To the Sea with Brandon and Lee. To the Sea is praised for the excitement they bring to an audience and for the precision they have in every performance. Fans love the twisted wall of guitars on songs like “Multiple Shadows”, the spacious terrain in songs like “Museums”, and the straight ahead rock ’n’ roll of songs like “Little Book”.
