The Band
The Good Ship Band are an acoustic pop four piece from Tunbridge Wells, Kent, UK. Formed in 2009, the band have sold over 2000 copies of Parts 1 & 2, released 6 singles, supported Keane, and have received 11 record deal offers to date; testimony to their relentless gigging throughout the South East and two - soon to be three - irresistibly melodic albums. Propelled by the songsmithery of frontman Jez Harley and guitarist/signed songwriter Ed Bingham (NorthStar Music), the band's recent airplay has drawn comparisons with Fleet Floxes, Paolo Nutini and Kings of Leon.
"Two albums inside a year. So when's Part 3 coming out?" (Soon...25th May)
Simon: "It's on the and of 3"
Ed: "What does that mean?"
Jim: "It's gotta groove more"
Jez: "Anyone for tea?"
With top bassist James Elliott and session drummer Simon Whiting completing the line-up, the band’s live reputation has resulted in the act being sought out by fans and industry alike. Following a flood of offers, TGSB were approached by video-makers Blindeye Films (Sigur Ros, Bryan Ferry, Eliza Doolittle) and the two parties collaborated to produce a stunning promo for live favourite ‘Hometown’. With such momentum, the band released 'Boomerang Girl' followed shortly by the eagerly anticipated second album, 'The Good Ship Band - Part 2’. Showing no signs of slowing down, 'Part 3 and a Third' is now complete, with the first single 'A Little Love' out on 15th June 2013.
"Do people faint when you tell them you're in The Good Ship Band?"
