Married To The Sea formed in 2007 and are based in Liverpool. Having played together in various bands, the members set out to create rowdy pop that people could dance to.
The band draw as much influence from the bittersweet sounds of Abba and Motown as they do from the off kilter dynamics of bands like The Pixies, Built to spill and Grandaddy.

Here are some bands we’ve opened for over the past couple of years…

Ra Ra Riot, Idlewild, The Spinto Band, Islands, The Futureheads, The Bluetones, Ed Harcourt, Hot club de Paris, Clinic, Someone still loves you Boris Yeltsin, Wave Machines & Cymbals eat Guitars as well as playing at Glastonbury festival and the incredible Secret Garden Party.

Musically, the multiplatinum GRAMMY® Award-nominated trio of Southern California sisters Este, Danielle, and Alana Haim trace a winding path through genres and musical eras—similar to how Ventura Boulevard paves its way through a myriad of Los Angeles suburbs and neighborhoods. Since 2012, the group have made a mark on their own terms with eclectic songcraft in the studio and electrifying performances on stages worldwide. With five career GRAMMY® nominations to date, they became the first all-female band nominated for “Best Rock Album” with 2025’s I quit, and previously made history as the first all-female rock group nominated for “Album of the Year” for 2020’s critically acclaimed Women In Music Pt. III. Prior, they released the gold-certified Days Are Gone [2013] and Something To Tell You [2017]. Over the course of a decade, they have also notched two #1 debuts on the UK Albums Chart and two Top 10 entries on the Billboard 200. Haim’s highly anticipated fourth studio album, I quit, was released in June 2025. The deluxe version of the album features three new songs, including “Tie you down” with Bon Iver.
