The Ocean Blue arrived as the 1980s drew to a close, and their debut record on the famed Sire Records Label in 1989 seemed to summarize the best of the passing musical decade. With the release of The Ocean Blue, the band of four teenagers from Hershey, Pennsylvania Quickly achieved widespread acclaim and radio & MTV airplay with top 10 Modern Rock/College Radio hits like “Between Something and Nothing,” “Drifting, Falling,” and “VanityFair.”
They followed their debut with the dreamy and atmospheric Cerulean, which includes perhaps their most beloved song, “Ballerina Out of Control.” Their third Sire release and highest charting pop album Beneath the Rhythm and Sound featured the single “Sublime,” with a video of the band in the sublime landscape of Iceland. The band’s fourth major label album on Mercury/PolyGram, See The Ocean Blue, delved into wider 60s and 70s stylings but with the band’s 80s DNA peeking through.
The band left the majors in the late 90s and released several independent records in the ensuing decade, including 2000’s Davy Jones Locker and 2004’s Waterworks. In 2013, after a long hiatus and much anticipation, the band released their first full-length record in a decade, Ultramarine, on Korda Records, a label cooperative the band helped launch that same year. The record was a welcome return for both long-time fans of the band and younger generation of like-minded fans, and it garnered widespread praise as one of their very best albums.
In 2015, the band worked with Sire Records to reissue their first three albums vinyl and did wider touring in North and South America, where some of their most passionate fans reside.
In 2019, the band returned with the beautifully powerful Kings and Queens / Knaves and Thieves and has continued to tour for this release and the newly reissued vinyl of See The Ocean Blue (2022) and Davy Jones’ Locker (2023). The band is on tour with select dates in 2025 performing their first two albums in full.
