The Silver Seas [formerly The Bees (U.S.)] are a rock and alternative band from Nashville, Tennessee, which formed when producer Jason Lehning met singer-songwriter Daniel Tashian. The band toured as an opening act for Guster in 2004 after the independent release of their debut album, Starry Gazey Pie. Their second album, High Society, was released in early 2006.
On May 2, 2007, it was announced that The Bees (U.S.) had signed to Los Angeles-based Cheap Lullaby, and that the label intended to re-release High Society.[1] Copyright issues, namely that a UK band was already using 'The Bees', forced the band to change their name, and they rechristened themselves The Silver Seas.[2] Under this new name, their label released High Society on October 9, 2007.[3]
The band has received high marks from the media: Metromix gave High Society a "Pick" rating and mentioned that they had the reputation as "one of the best unsigned bands in their hometown of Nashville,"[4] and magazine Performing Songwriter said of High Society that the band had "made the catchiest album of the year".[3]
