The name Seafret, as well as being a pun on the guitar fret board, is also a local term for the two boys; it applies to the rolling mists that come in off the North Sea during summer. Now living in London, the sea is what the duo miss the most.
First meeting at an open mic night around 2011, the two had distinctly different levels of experience. Though a few years younger, Harry Draper was an experienced local musician; Jack Sedman, meanwhile, had quite literally only just discovered his voice.
Seafret released their debut EP 'Give Me Something' on Sweet Jane Recordings on September 21st 2014. The ‘Give Me Something’ EP features five tracks, ‘Give Me Something’, ‘Explosion’, ‘Play With Guns’, ‘Did We Miss The Morning’ and an acoustic version of ‘Give Me Something’ that bookends the EP.

hopein' time doesn't meand
don't either of us know what is happenin'
theres no right time to go
i will tighten this hold
you know when i walk away ill be back again
if there was a place i could take ya
id keep you safe, far away from the world
back to you
i'd just send me home
to what i know
won't you send me home
im just another stone
waiting to be thrown back to you
i'd just send me home
to what i know
won't you send me home
its a risk that we take
good decsions we make
i really didnt know what was happenin'
wasn't part of the deal
but time will reveal
that id be comin home
you know i'd find a way
if there was a place i could take ya
id keep you safe, far away from the world
like a skimmin' stone waiting to be thrown
back to you
i'd just send me home
to what i know
won't you send me home
im just another stone
waiting to be thrown back to you
i'd just send me home
to what i know
won't you send me home

face down in the sand
like a skimmin' stone waiting to be thrown
back to you
i'd just send me home
to what i know

waiting to be thrown back to you
i'd just send me home
to what i know
won't you send me home
im leavin again
hopein' time doesn't meand
you know when i walk away ill be back again
