The Ocean

Posted Nov. 30, 2013, 5:17 p.m.

The Ocean is a monstrous band--and not just by their formidable reputation. The band has seen scores of members come and go over their life span, but one figure has remained a constant presence over their thirteen-year history: frontman Robin Staps. We at SPB had the distinct honour of asking him a few questions about the band, their new album Pelagial, and the philosophy behind it. Scene Point Blank: Congratulations on the release of Pelagial! Judging from the critical reception, the album seems to have gone over amazingly well. Robin Staps: Cheers. Yeah, I'm pretty excited about how everyone is raving about the record. Scene Point Blank: Firstly, you mentioned in an interview that vocalist Loïc Rossetti's ...

Interviews

The Blood Brothers

Posted Oct. 16, 2010, 11:49 a.m.

We interviewed Jordan Blilie, half of the Blood Brothers' dual vocal attack, in a room with the couch, walls and table, all covered in cow spots. I think the Blood Brothers were assigned to the wrong dressing room. It is difficult to associate cows with the Blood Brothers. As hard as I try, I cannot find a single bovine quality in these five guys from Seattle. Cows are sluggish, lackadaisical creatures. The Blood Brothers play with an unsurpassed intensity on stage. Their live show is a loud, fast, chaotic frenzy of flailing bodies. Cows make a deep, slow bellowing sound ...
