artist What Seas, What Shores

What Seas, What Shores take their name from the first line of T.S. Eliot's 'Marina,' a poem that portrays the vast emotions that come with being reunited with someone you never expected to see again. What Seas, What Shores’ music, however, is not so easily explained. Without the use of words or vocals, the music describes its own unusual, emotive power reminiscent of a turbulent coastal ebb and flow.

Their present line-up existing since 2006, What Seas, What Shores is currently working steadily as a cogent four-piece, comprised of Windsor, Ontario residents Caleb Farrugia (drums), Martin Schiller (bass), Colin Wysman (guitar, melodica) and Kyle Marchand (guitar). Their latest release, Threnodies features performances from Anna Atkinson playing viola, and trombonist Steve Ward.

WSWS have extensively toured both the East and West coasts of Canada, and have performed alongside other notable instrumental rock bands such as The Riderless, The Absent Sound and Fond of Tigers. Additionally, they have performed with Australia's Because of Ghosts on their most recent Canadian tour.

As the band's hometown enters into a post-industrial recession, WSWS has refined their style and developed incisive laments, evident both on their releases and in their live performances, which continue to resonate with audiences.
