About Me

oceania is Chuck (Halophile, Zombie Kore Allegiance, Sullivan) and Ben (Sullivan, Relapse, Zombie Kore Allegiance). Songwriting began (and was heavily influenced) by travels in Alaska. A nautical theme weaves in and out of most songs. Although it began as just a recording project, lately we've been playing live on a regular basis. We take the simplicity of two acoustic guitars and vocals and augment the sound with feedback, keys, and programmed noise samples. We write, record and produce our own music...all by ourselves! The 12 song album "...from the ashes of ice waves" can be downloaded in its entirety at: www.48prong.com/oceania.html You can find more information about us and all of the album's art work there as well.
