Leafy flowing tendrils, Dancey mermaid robots, Lethal Scorpion armies.
2004 birthed the beast that was to become The Controver Sea.
Based out of Northern Illinois, pinballing and churning in a blender a solid rock base with dashes of dance, emo, showgaze, and something just weird; infusing honesty, integrity, passion, and discovery into the fact of living in a world with other individuals; the combination results in a moving and relatable uniqueness.
