Bass - Stephen Short
Drums - Glenn Bowen (ex Crossfire, Manrae, Torrey Canyon)
Band History:
Glenn & Sean formed the band shortly after the demise of Manrae, both were determined to cut a new path away from what emo had become & start playing the type of music that they both enjoyed listening to at the time. It wasn't long before the 'DC' influence reared it's head in the music that Sean & Glenn started to jam together in informal practice sessions.
Realising that they still wanted to play music together, Sean & Glenn decided to make their new partnership more permanent & instantly recruited a bass player in the form of Stephen Short (a mutual friend)
Half Seas Over took this guise for some 6 months until Tim Waterfield was added on 2nd guitar
The band played many gigs up & down England & Scotland during 1997 - 1998 & recorded 1 demo, 1 CD EP & 4 unreleased songs
