About Me

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.

"A monster jam of piano-driven melodies, hooks, and earnestness; a powerful collection of beautiful rock songs. The hits keep coming".
Bruce Warren, Some Velvet Blog, WXPN

"A terrific first album of piano-driven rock with accomplished songs featuring Lyons' pleasingly raspy and winning vocals...I can't stop playing it".
Ray Bennett, Hollywood Reporter, London.
"Absolutely beautiful, beautifully absolute. If there is any justice in the world this band will go places ".
Rob Hanlon, Don't Stop the Pop Blog.

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