about
Paintings of Ships are a trio from North London, formed in early 2009, who offer up a heartfelt, poppy, nautically tinged kind of grungey, melodic indie. Londoner Daniel Clancy (vocals and guitar) formed the band with Northerner Catherine Wilson, previously of St Elmo's Fire, on (bass and vocals). They went for the geographical middle ground when choosing Midlander Matt Hill, of Faster and Port Sunlight, on drums. Paintings of Ships played their first show at The Brief in Croydon in June 2009, and have moved on with numerous gigs, festival appearances and acoustic sessions across the city. The band take their influences from a range of post-punk bands, melodic lo-fi groups and the feel and sound of the early '90s. Their debut EP 'Shore For Sure', featuring the tracks 'Paintings of Ships', 'Headlines', 'Stars For Satellites' and 'The Great Outdoors' was released in June 2010.
