I set the sea on fire tastes like funk


I Set The Sea On Fire are an alternative rock band from Sheffield, UK. The band are well known for their single "Tastes Like Funk", which got airplay on BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio 2. Combining traditional indie with elements of funk, grunge and hip Hop, I Set The Sea On Fire are making a name for themselves as the next massive sound out of Sheffield. With four-part harmonies, a trumpet, trombone and flute alongside the traditional indie band, the sound is hard to describe, but they've settled with comparing it to an off shore oil rig explosion, but with less screams and a lot more trumpet. Having shared the stage with bands such as Heaven 17, Buzzcocks and Dog Is Dead, the band are well known for their massive live shows, which have been described as a "Powerfully energetic set which could get the dead dancing, but with the most beautiful harmonies I've heard live in a long time".
