Maybe it's time to drop my arms. Or arm myself

About Me

We are a four piece rock outfit from the Midwest. Rob. Neil. Pierce. Don. Our music is the culmination of all of our passions, emotions, experiences, beliefs, dreams, influences, and personalities. Seaworthy is the pulled together effort of years of frustration, simple song writing, angst, and a longing to play personal, meaningful, honest songs for people who might care to hear something genuine. We came together in the Summer of 2006 when Neil (Neil) and I (Rob) met. I had a few songs and a direction I wanted to go, Neil had some songs and a direction he wanted to go, and over the course of a six hour rehearsal, we crafted a couple of tunes. The direction we were heading was the same. I said we'll need a good drummer. Neil said, I got a guy. Enter Pierce (Pierce) Peirce came down from Minn. for a marathon sesh which lasted 5 days and that is when Seaworthy was finally christened. Don is the newest mate, bringing another creative mind to the table, as well as guitar and effects, vox, and amazing work ethic. The songs.....Loud, crisp guitars....clear, warm vocals....brutally honest lyrics....segmented bass lines that carry....solid, epic drumming that is not over done. All together the music is loud, intense, intricate but simple, moving, raw, angular, dissonant, and bloody savory. We think so anyway, and we hope you find that this description honestly portrays our sound. The name Seaworthy had been around for much longer as a solo recording project but seemed to fit the desperate leitmotif of the songs. Thanks for listening. Now don't be strangers, we sure as shit won't be.

Influences: Seaworthy is influenced by Sonic Youth, Houston, Jawbox, GlassJaw, Sunny Day Real Estate, Shiner, Helmet, Nirvana, Explosions in the sky, Rage Against the Machine, Murder by Death, Someday I, Swervedriver, Hum, At The Drive-In, Propagandhi, Kick In Emergency. The sounds of industry taking place of fields in the once vast midwestern plains of Illinois, the hum and delirious din made by the ever increasing replicating man.
Sounds Like: Loud, dirty, swanky guitars, over swift drumming and segmented bass-lines. Unpolished, raw, disrespectful, dissonant, defiant, and bloody fun. Sometimes dreamy, sometimes nightmare, balls out and balls in, melodic and intense, not writing a new book but always genuine. An easy going unit of best friends.
