British Sea Power

QRO turns its floodlight out to sea to peer across the waves at Her Majesty's British Sea Power.

Name: British Sea Power

Hometown: Brighton, England, U.K.

Members: Noble (Martin Noble), Hamilton (Neil Wilkinson), Yan (Scott Wilkinson), Wood (Matthew Wood)

Albums: The Decline of British Sea Power (2003), Spirit of St. Louis EP (2004, Japan), Open Season (2005), Krankenhaus? EP (2007), Do You Like Rock Music? (2008)

If the band was an animal, they'd be: the Dover sole that brought down the Spanish Armada 

Or if they were a food, they'd be: the limes that fueled the British Navy

What about a piece of furniture?: the armchair that the armchair explorer could no longer sit in while others do the deed
