The Liberty Ship - Exclusive Demos

The Liberty Ship were formed in 2000 and hailed from Nottingham. They were formed by ex Bulldozer Crash member Marc Elston who quickly recruited Tim Wade (Bass) and Rachel Eyres (Guitar and Vocals). They were later joined by Steve who replaced the drum machine which had been in attendance at their early gigs.
Since 2002 they have recorded for the US label Matinee although they had one release on Sunday Records, the former home of Bulldozer Crash. The band released their debut album Tide in 2004 to much acclaim.
The Liberty Ship produced classy C86 inspired indie-pop (they have been compared to bands like Hurrah, East Village and The Bodines) expanding past the jangly folk-rock group Marc first had in mind.
Due to other commitments the band are currently on ice but before going their seperate ways they recorded some demos which Marc has kindly allowed to be made available on this blog.
