BIO

Like all good rock bands, The Glory Sea is an Auckland four piece that specialise in melodic, affecting, ambitious rock and roll. They write and perform creative anthems, beautiful ballads and hummable pop rock that's broad in its appeal as much as its likeability.
Like The Smashing Pumpkins and The Arcade Fire setting sail on the ocean of The Cure to reach the island of U2, The Glory Sea have a sound that isn't afraid to reach for the sublime, all without losing the essence of a simple and enjoyable song.

this is quite cheesy and outdated to be honest but apart from that it could be coaxed in to being good

Billy Corgan and Simply Red had a lovechild. His name was Joel Greatbatch. It's symphonic and hard to get your ears around at first but after several listens I got lost. I challenge everyone to take a second listen. A real listen.

great lyrics and sound, but I think this song would do better playing in the back ground of credits or on a epic TV add,

I'm impressed with this track's melodic integrity and sensibility. There's great variety of texture without it ever becoming overcrowded.
