An English duo making electro-guitar-pop  crafted songs

working their music together, this harmonious relationship now perfecting their sound into something they relish…producing timeless quality songs, of melody driven electronically 
engaged-art-pop immersed with catchy and memorable hooks & musical passages you cant shake off.
 

Huffington Post...SYC have perfected their sound into something they relish…their playfully creative fusion of synth-electro and cool pop & guitar holds high mainstream appeal as well as an effervescent energy made to light up a dancefloor… 

BBC 6 Music ... between them Tom Dale and Denis Brice possess a more outrageous amount of talent than any pair of individuals could reasonably expect in the normal run of things...their gleaming express train production, commercial appeal and leftfield quirky charm makes Seattle Yacht Club such a unique and appealing band. 

Tom Robinson BBC 6 Music, Introducing, MixTape  - ‘Feeling the Sunshine’ 
Ah well, it was one of those moments of pure synchronicity when this popped up in our inbox last week on the hottest day of the year so far. Tight, smooth harmonies, poppy scat vocal hooks, glistening electric piano chords, muted guitar picking reminiscent of steel pans – a light up tempo groove and Seattle Yacht Club‘s signature slick production values. Oh and a memorable chorus. Tom Dale and Denis Brice seem to be just going from strength to strength. I approved this track for the Listening Post less than 30 seconds into the song, and our readers voted it into the Fresh Faves here with the same alacrity….if the Men In Suits can help this duo achieve even half the recognition they deserve over the coming months, I predict we’ll see them on the Radio 1 playlist and playing major festival slots within a year.

Southport synth-poppers Seattle Yacht Club may be newcomers but their music carries a purpose and determination beyond their years. They sculpt their infectious sound from a blend of synths, guitar hooks and tight harmonies learned from their love of alt-pop and classic songwriting.

With a reputation for spectacular live performances, the genesis of multi-platinum
artist The Verve Pipe can be traced back to the early 90s when the principal members of two rival Michigan bands joined forces.  After releasing two independent albums, I’ve Suffered A Head Injury and Pop Smear, the group quickly garnered a regional following for its textured rock songs distinguished by innovative arrangements, soul-searching lyrics and layered vocals.

The success of both albums attracted the attention of RCA Records, which released their platinum major label debut Villains in 1996.  The album featured the radio hit ‘Photograph’ and the #1 single ‘The Freshmen,’ one of the most successful multi-format tracks of 1997 and winner of an ASCAP Pop Award.  Their follow-up release, the critically acclaimed self-titled LP The Verve Pipe, featured ‘Hero,’ a Top 15 hit at Modern Rock radio.

In 2001, RCA released Underneath, which produced the singles ‘Happiness Is’ and ‘Never Let You Down,’ one of the most played songs for Adult Top 40 and Modern A/C radio that year.  The album also included ‘Colorful,’ the emotive ballad featured in the film and soundtrack Rock Star, starring Mark Wahlberg and Jennifer Aniston and also co-starring lead singer Brian Vander Ark in his first major film role.

In addition to their success on radio, TV and film, sold-out concert dates throughout the U.S., Canada, Europe and Australia, features in Spin and Rolling Stone and videos on MTV and VH1, the band have made numerous television appearances, including ‘The Tonight Show With Jay Leno’ and ‘Late Night With David Letterman.’

After an eight year hiatus, The Verve Pipe were approached to submit an original
song for a compilation album of children’s music. That session inspired A Family
Album, their critically acclaimed introduction to the world of children’s music, as well as their follow up release, Are We There Yet?.  Both albums contain music intended for the entire family, with fun and inventive lyrics set to the memorable melodies the band is known for.

On June 17, 2014, The Verve Pipe will release their first rock album in over 13 years with Overboard, a collection of ten new songs including the first single ‘Crash Landing’, along with ‘Hit and Run,’ ‘Latchkey Kid,’ and the haunting title track ‘Overboard.’  This long incubating project has brought a renewed energy and focus to this self-produced album that has resulted in their most inspired writing and recording to date.

The Verve Pipe continue to tour, performing both rock and kids shows throughout the U.S., including special appearances at Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits Festival,
Hangout Music Festival, SummerStage in Central Park, and many more.
