The band are well-known for their single "Tastes Like Funk", which got airplay on BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio 2. Combining traditional indie with elements of funk, grunge and hip Hop, I Set The Sea On Fire are making a name for themselves as the next massive sound out of Sheffield. With four-part harmonies, a trumpet, trombone and flute alongside the traditional indie band, the sound is hard to describe, but they've settled with comparing it to an off shore oil rig explosion, but with less screams and a lot more trumpet.
Members include Peter Jenkins (Bass / Vocals / DJ) and Billy Washington (Guitar / Vocals).
Originally a duo formed in 2007, the outfit is well-known for their dramatic and energetic live performances at prestigious venues all around the UK including headlining festivals, academy’s and private events alike. A synthesis of electronic and organic instrumentation allows their audience to soar to ecstatic heights through heart pumping anthems as well as explore the pits of despair in bittersweet haunting melodies. Ultimately, it’s I Set The Sea On Fire’s live shows that generates the most enthusiastic reviews; “The new band of the 21st century, bringing in the new era of rock/alternative while creating their own sound and bringing in a big following” — Uncut Project.
“Exceptional for such a young and new act, The new sound of the youth”
- Uncut Project 2011
“Could you ask for more? Amazing atmosphere on stage, the best music we’ve heard from a teenage band in a long time, aswell as a complete inability to stop f**king dancing to I Set The Sea On Fire”
- The Boardwalk 2009
