We Are The Ocean ‘What It Feels Like’ by Hassle Records

We Are The Ocean have announced details of their new album ‘Go Now And Live’. The second album from the Essex quintet will be released 25th April on Hassle Records (Cancer Bats, Alkaline Trio, Trash Talk).

The album is a big shift in direction from their debut album ‘Cutting Our Teeth’ and marks a new era for We Are The Ocean. The record opens up with the thunderous track ‘Trouble is Temporary, Time is Tonic’ which has an opening line that’s no doubt ready to make the hairs on the back of your next stand up on end. The Radio 1 daytime, playlisted single ‘What It Feels Like’ follows and from here on in you know this record is ready to be one the classics of the year!

Dan, vocalist, from the band exclaims that ‘This album shows a huge progression from Cutting Our Teeth and we’re extremely pleased with how it turned out. We wanted to challenge ourselves and write songs in a way that we’d never written before and try things that would never have worked on the first album’.

At the production helm of ‘Go Now And Live’ is Peter Miles (The King Blues, Futures), who’s current track record has been sensational in delivering some of the most exciting British rock records of the past couple of years.

2011 is already shaping up to be a huge one for the band with their single ‘What It Feels Like’ being added to the Radio 1 daytime playlist and being championed by Zane Lowe as Single of the Week.
