Seadog is the Brighton-based project of musicians Mark Benton and Tom Chadd along with their eclectic troupe of performers. They create dream-pop songs combining a variety of influences into a myriad sound of lullabies with anthemic electric and acoustic samples and textures. The band recently completed their forthcoming second album “Internal Noise” at Bella Union Studios in Brighton. Recordings began deep in the 2020 lockdown and have been expanded upon in the studio with Jack Wolter of Penelope Isles on production duties. The album features Jack Wolter on drums, backing vocals and additional guitars, while sister Lily Wolter, also from Penelope Isles, guests on the record Seadog have previously worked with Phill Brown (Audio Engineer for Talk Talk, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Bob Marley) to complete their debut album "Cabin Fever Blues", released in 2018. The band have had songs playlisted on Amazing Radio and BBC Introducing The South, on which they have also performed a live session to promote their debut record. They have also been selected and reviewed numerous times for Tom Robinson's Fresh on the net blog. Their recent single Tidal Wave was selected for his BBC Introducing mixtape on 6 Music and was also featured on Lauren Laverne's BBC 6 Music Recommends show. "Tidal Wave ticks all the boxes for me...but above all, it sounds like it's flying and I have a soft spot for songs that sound like they are flying." - Jason Lytle (Grandaddy) "Really love Tidal Wave, lovely melody and the chorus lifts off so well." - Matthew Caws (Nada Surf) "Seadog have been quietly working their way into our hearts through a consistent run of tracks released over the last few years. Seadog's home within our hearts is set for many more years to come." - Simon Raymonde (Cocteau Twins/Bella Union) "Really pretty good and nice voice"- David Crosby
