Sands Once Seas

Providing a common ground between current faves like THURSDAY, THRICE and TAKING BACK SUNDAY and melodic hardcore classics like DAG NASTY, BLUE SKY MILE carves a new path by learning from their influences, not mimicking them. Originally hailing from various points across the US and converging in Seattle, BLUE SKY MILE formed in early 2001. Consisting of five, self proclaimed "twenty-something college students, graduates, and dropouts," BSM'S self-effacing humor belies the grandiose leanings of their musical output. Precise, interlocking guitar work runs behind the acid-tongue of singer Jerry Kansky, spitting his diatribes with a bittersweet melodic passion. Produced and recorded by Joel Brown at Hall Of Justice studios (owned by Chris Walla of DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE, home base studio of Barsuk Records), Sands Once Seas tackles and conquers weighty lyrical themes and extraordinary musical ground.
