Formed in the small town of Oshkosh, Wisconsin, Koley O'Brien and Joe Spargur quickly got working on what would later become their debut EP in 2008. Making time between school work to play every surrounding venue that would have them, AB & The Sea soon became a full fledged effort, complete with bassist Zac Pingel. Offering songs full of multi-part vocal melodies, and comforting instrumental pleasantries suitable for their new San Francisco locale, look for a new album from AB & The Sea out by years end.
