Seabound are announcing live shows after a rather long period of concert absence. Subsequent to their successful US tour in the spring of 2008, they are planning out a double-headliner tour with German synthpop veterans De/Vision for January 2009. Seabound are primarily focusing on playing shows in cities in Canada and the US which they were not able to visit on their last tour. Some first shows have been confirmed and are about to be posted soon. However, local promoters interested in booking shows might want to get in touch with Seabound's management [management@seabound.de].

But the European fans haven't been forgotten either: Seabound will play their first show in Germany after a 20 month silence. It will take place at the Blackfield festival warm-up party on June 19th at Bochum's Matrix (Germany). There might be another gig in Europe during the same week -   so stay tuned, we will keep you posted!

Possibly the most heart-felt and painful album of the year, Seabound's Double-Crosser is a violent psychological storm of emotions all tied into the themes of deceit and self-deception. Imagine every emotion one is faced with when they find out someone they love has decimated their trust. Love, anger, depression, blame and remorse pull the listener through the deepest recesses of the human psyche as they begin to question the very truth they were presented. Frank Spinath from Seabound notes “...the more you see through the facades, the more life's contradictions and irreconcilable needs will haunt you. If you lack the naïveté to find consolation in easy dogmatic rules, you will have to face the unsolvable sooner or later.” Becoming a more confident singer on this album, Frank's vocals are accentuated by Seabound's signature sounds and arrangements.

Martin Vorbrodt's varying compositions facilitate a balance with the lyrics to emphasize the feelings throughout the songs. From the fast paced “Traitor” where anger and frustration prevail to slower paced “Sapphire” where hope is present, Double-Crosser explores the temptations that we are faced with everyday and how they affect the people dearest to you.    [ Metropolis Records promo text ]
