British Sea Power May 17, 2008

British Sea Power mines '80s new-wave influences like Echo & the Bunnymen and Joy Division. Onstage gimmicks range from wearing matching clothes to having unusual props. But the band more than makes up for their eccentricities with their music, which includes their debut, 'The Decline of British Sea Power.' The Rosebuds combine influences ranging from '60s pop to '90s indie-rock.
