Sea Girls
When: 29th September 2024
Location: O2 Academy
Sea Girls are the indie four-piece from London. They are coming to Glasgow’s O2 Academy for one night only on 29th September 2024.
Releasing their debut single in 2017, Sea Girls celebrated immediate acclaim. Securing mainstream radio plays for Call Me Out and subsequently making well-received appearances at a number of festivals. It was a promising start for the four-piece who met at school. They found inspiration in the likes of Bastille and The Killers. Those bands’ anthemic choruses would go on to underpin much of Sea Girls’ early work. This spawned the Call Me Out EP in 2017 and Heavenly War a year later.
Rounding off 2018 with All I Want To Hear You Say – a song that would celebrate a significantly more successful re-release two years later. Sea Girls landed themselves on the BBC Sound of 2019 list. Retaining their rapid momentum, the band unveiled their Open Up Your Head single in February of that year. Signing to Polydor Records shortly thereafter. The following months saw frontman Henry Camamile, drummer Oli Khan, guitarist Rory Young and bassist Andrew Noswad release a handful of rousing singles. As well as taking to stages at Reading & Leeds Festival, Benicàssim and more. They also joined Foals on a tour across Russia.
One to watch in 2020
By the end of the year, Sea Girls had performed in the United States and been named by MTV as ones to watch in 2020. Honouring the accolade, the band released their massive Ready For More at the start of the year, joining the equally anthemic Violet on their Under Exit Lights EP and gearing the band up for the release of their highly anticipated debut full-length. Following the release of the radio mainstay Do You Really Wanna Know? and the re-release of All I Want To Hear You Say, the band dropped their first album in August 2020. Although not featuring the track from which it took its title, Open Up Your Head peaked at No.3 on the official album chart upon release.
Alongside the album, Sea Girls announced their biggest UK tour yet to support it. On 7 April 2021, those shows were rescheduled to August – October 2021 with more headline dates added.
Three of those, ‘Sick’, ‘Again Again’ and ‘Hometown’ went on to be included on their 2022 sophomore album Homesick, which followed its predecessor in reaching No.3 in the UK album charts. A new single ‘DNA’ was released as a Record Store Day exclusive, while a further new single ‘Falling Apart’ was released in September 2022 and featured on the soundtrack to the FIFA 23 game.
