It has been a big year for Chi-town rockers Ship Captain Crew, the band made their Warped Tour debut and they are currently gearing up for the release of their most focused and melodically driven instalment of ‘countrified pop-punk’ to date with the forthcoming EP ‘The Ocean Floor.’ Featured on the project and premiering exclusively on GroundSounds is the title track “The Ocean Floor.”

Drummer Mike Reda had this to say about the bands latest EP:

‘The six song collection battles currents, turning emotions under and submerging expectations. As you wade into what seems like familiar waters, you find that each step immerses you in a deeper shade than the last. Lyrically the EP veers away from its predecessor, House Of Mercury, relinquishing the inner struggle for the romantic one. Each song offers a different perspective from a relationship on the rocks, to one flush with passion, picking at bones or traversing the bottom of the ocean. Musically, the EP combines many different influences. Some are poppy, others eclectic, while some inspiration came from true love and personal loss. Each song crosses into a different genre, with Boston, The Starting Line, Patsy Cline, Knuckle Puck, Genesis and Minus The Bear to name a few influences. These songs were written on the road, in our garage and on the streets of Chicago as displayed in our music video for the first single, “Hollows”.’

‘The Ocean Floor’ will drop on October 9th and is available for pre-order HERE
