British Sea Power formed at the close of the 20th century. From the English Lake District came brothers Yan Scott Wilkinson and Neil Hamilton Wilkinson, plus school friend Matthew Wood. Guitarist Martin Noble arrived from West Yorkshire. It was the band’s live performances that defined their early years. When BSP played the 2002 Reading Festival, Rolling Stone indicated that the entirety of the weekend’s bill paled before them: “Fuck this puerile drivel, we’re going to see British Sea Power… British Sea Power rule!”
Last year the band made the bold announcement that they were dropping the word British from their name and are now known as Sea Power. In 2022 their 7th studio album “Everything Was Forever” entered the Official UK Album charts at Number 1.
Twenty years on from their first concert Sea Power continue to make bold, galvanising, idiosyncratic marks on the world.
