We Recommend - Seabird, 'Til We See The Shore'

Last Summer I had the pleasure of catching Seabird live at Vertical Fest in Shippensburg, PA. I was impressed by the raw passion and the talent this foursome displayed. This one live performance awakened an appreciation in me for this young and promising act. Currently on tour with Jars Of Clay, Seabird recently headlined JFH's second GMA showcase, at 12th & Porter in Nashville, TN (video and review) and left a lasting impression once again. I've since been stuck on this record and can't get enough of it. Fans of Cold Play will probably dig these guys most (although I am not a fan of CP and I do enjoy this record), but anyone looking for a good piano rock record with beautiful piano pieces and intriguing lyrics will most likely find a lot to like about 'Til We See The Shore. - John DiBiase

Ah, Seabird. This was a surprisingly good album for me this past summer. It's full of orinality and professionalism, well done and very wonderful.

It was a welcome surprise for me and I assume many others who took a chance on these very talented young musicians.

Alls I've heard is "Rescue" but I do like that one. I'll have to check out the rest. :)

I have the songs "Not Alone" and "Rescue" from that album. I absolutely love them!

I work at a Christian bookstore. When this record came in I was intrigued by the cover art which was enough for me to cough up the ten bucks even though the only song I had heard was "Rescue". It was definitely worth taking the ten dollar chance. Then I saw them play at Creation West last Summer and was VERY impressed with their performance (even though they looked a little nervous at first...playing on the main stage).

This album has become one of my favorites. I end up in my own world whenever I listen to it. It�s easy to connect with these songs�I can see my own life experiences & it�s always refreshing to find a band that's not afraid to write about heartache & struggles.
