Baby Harp Seal

Baby Harp Seal

Baby Harp Seal has been played on NTS in shows including After Dark w/ HELM, featured first on 13 April 2021. Songs played include Red Light Circles.

(1993-1996) Baby Harp Seal were a post-hardcore/emo band from Leeds, UK.

"my first band was called baby harp seal, we played from 93 - 96 when we broke up because of egos (mostly mine). we played kind of emo music, but not really - we were into hoover and fugazi and heroin, and two of us had a led zep fixation. we did a few 7 inches and one album, which i still listen to now and then. some parts make me cringe, and some parts make me nostalgic. with hindsight, i'm quite proud of it. it was what it was, some lads in their early twenties being a bit pretentious. sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't. I was gratified to see on last fm that someone is still listening to it on their computer - i don't know how it got there because we only ever released vinyl. happy days though, happy days… As someone else wrote above, it put me on the path i'm on now, nearly fifteen years later, and has, so far at least, given me a nice, if impovershed, life." seth

releases: split 7" w/ Polaris (1994) split 7" w/ Kosjer D (belgium) (199?) s/t LP (1996) Devour 7" Things I Think About When I'm About To Die 7"
