The North Sea

There are more than one artist by the name The North Sea. 1. The one man army of Brad Rose is responsible for more heartache than you could ever imagine. One part music journalist, one part free-folk troubadour, one part maniacal label boss and one part loving husband, this man crams more into his life than most of us manage in an entire karmic cycle. He's released hundreds of albums now under many different monikers. Brad continues to innovate on his own, however, as The North Sea. 2. The North Sea were formed in 2010 through a shared love of 80s and 90s indie, such as The Field Mice, The Wedding Present and The Smiths. They've Played numerous gigs since, such as shows in Dublin, Galway, Dingle and London and Brighton in the UK. In summer 2011 they made their first festival appearances at Indiependence, Knockanstockan and The Free Fringe Ballinamore. They have also played support slots with one of Ireland's most influential bands, Whipping Boy, in The Button Factory and The Spirit Sore Dundalk. The North Sea are starting 2012 with The Whelans One To Watch Tour 2012, their EP launch, followed by a nationwide and UK tour.
