The Ocean - Pelagial

The Ocean have been around for a while now (their first EP Fogdiver was released in 2003), and with that time has come slow but steady musical growth.  They’ve improved over the course of each album, and their latest release Pelagial is certainly their most accomplished record.  Those who have followed them through the career up to now are sure to enjoy what they have to offer here.  That being said, this wasn’t the easiest album for me to enjoy, and I tried REAL hard to like this one.  I swayed between hating it and loving it for a while, and I eventually ended up feeling something in between.

Exclusive Interview: Robin Staps (The Ocean)

Last Wednesday, Nathan and I were fortunate enough to have made it down to Reggie's Rock Club to see The Ocean / Devin Townsend tour that's been going around.  Needless to say, it was a fantastic show.  After the show, we ran down The Ocean at their merch booth and from there went upstairs to have an interview with their founding member/guitarist, Robin Staps.  He was a great guy to talk to and gave us pretty good insight into The Ocean's past and what they're going to be up to past this current tour.  Be sure to catch them on tour now while they're still in America!  Enjoy the interview.
