The Ocean

The band often describes its sound as "ambient soundtrack doomrock". The Ocean was founded in 2000 by guitarist and songwriter Robin Staps. During the following two years, about 40 musicians joined and left the band until a stable line-up was established.

No Anchor

Ian and Alex were born. Years later, they met in Brisbane City. Later still they formed a band. To date they’ve done very little with their band. One day they will probably record a record and tour, it’s probable. But you could also accurately say that one day they will break up, that seems inevitable. Also inevitable is the fact that Alex and Ian will die at some point in the future. Sorry. BUT...
