Brad Lyons - Waterdown Ontario, Canada
Brad crumbled during his first week at the University of Waterloo. After having visited every faculty and finding no relief, he decided that what he enjoyed doing above all else was singing. Having no singing experience outside of the shower, Brad ran an ad in the Waterloo paper that read, "Experienced Singer Seeks Band". Two universities and three bands later, he found Carly.
Carly Paradis - Stoney Creek Ontario, Canada
Carly crumbled at a much earlier age. By age four she was playing piano. By age nine she was writing her own music. She played and wrote primarily on her own for over a decade while waiting for the right collaborator. Three universities and two keyboards later, she met Brad.
In 2005 Oceanship released their self-titled EP, and in 2006, toured China extensively. Oceanship spent the majority of 2007 producing and recording their first full length album, available 2009.

"An impressive debut by one of Canada’s most talented bands. Major labels would be out of their minds not to pick up".
