Ember Oceans released their self-titled debut EP in 2015 and prior to that began playing an array of venue around the city. Through out this process, that hundreds of bands embark on annually, Ember Oceans began to question what it means to be a "Chicago" band. Is there a "scene" or better yet, is there a community or support network for young band’s like themselves? Not finding what they were looking for the band decided to create a "local scene" and began connecting with other bands. According to Peter Simonaitis of Ember Oceans, they "searched to find what we believe are other young, hard working bands who embody the ambitious spirit of our scene".
You can help Ember Oceans begin to solidify the scene with like-minded bands Freaks for Geeks, The Mile, and As Is on January 9th at Subterranean at 8 PM.
