REMEMBER THE OCEAN
Remember the Ocean's "Ruth" named best recording of 2002 by New Times Best of Broward/Palm Beach.
Already having toured parts of the southeastern United States, Remember the Ocean is anticipating the introduction of their music to a wider audience across the country.
Achingly Melodic Rock -- If there's such a thing as EMO ROCK this is it!
Members: Kristin Larkin (vocals, guitar), Earl Coralluzzo (guitar, percussion), Thom Hammond (bass, vocals), Steven Copeletti (drums)
... this is acoustic pop for the new century... Nothing is overdone or
inappropriately emphasized, in some cases the effect is nearly
nostalgic. Remember the Ocean could easily be a top 40-type band, but
they have that major cool of say someone like, Elvis Costello or Sinead
O'Conner. They make serious music with quality production, but without
the cheesy lyrics. If this band doesn't make it then it really is a
wasteland in top 40'sville. Join them in their melodic but potent,
musical cartwheel."
It can’t be easy to keep a band together when the singer lives in
Nashville
and the rest of the group lives in South Florida, yet Remember the Ocean has maintained such a visible presence on the local scene that it’s easy to forget Larkin now calls
Tennessee
home. Reminiscent of such female-fronted groups as Belly and 10,000 Maniacs, Remember the Ocean collected its lush, hooky songs on last year’s Ruth, released on the West Palm Beach-based indie The Honeycomb.com. Coralluzzo, Hammond and Copeletti also perform in the jangly-rock quartet The New Graduates, and Copeletti keeps time in the space-rock group Whirlaway, as well.

Biography
In 1996, Earl Coralluzzo (guitars) and Kristin Larkin (voices) began creating music together. Their songs were simple yet provocative. During the summer of 2000, Thom Hammond joined in with the bass guitar, adding needed warmth to the mix. Calling themselves Remember the Ocean, the trio produced a four-song recording that was originally intended to be passed among close friends and family. The outcome, however, was much different; the feedback was strong and encouraging.
"The instruments range from congos and organs to acoustic guitar and violin to tambourines. There is a big emphasis on vocals, most likely because this woman has got a great voice! This is a well-produced and mixed solid album that provides enjoyment, a memorable voice, and songs that you will catch yourself singing hours later, plus intelligent lyrics and creative arrangements."
-Jessika (Delusions of Adequacy)
"Melodic, and potent," "jangly, catchy, but never offensive power pop," "shimmering," "soulful," and "lyrical" are just a few of the phrases that have been used to describe Remember the Ocean, a South Florida band poised to break into the nation's musical consciousness. Remember the Ocean, which has performed with such notable acts as Ani DiFranco, Will Hoge, and Lisa Loeb, is that rarest of new bands: a synthesis of artistry and integrity, substance and style.
Recalling such bands as The Sundays, Sarah McLachlan, Cowboy Junkies, and Low, lead singer Kristin Larkin's exquisitely performed lyrics manage to convey both wry self-awareness and a warm poignancy, while finding the perfect accompaniment in Earl Coralluzzo's rich and expressive musicianship. The band, while based in South Florida, also performs regularly in Larkin's home state of Tennessee, and has sold thousands of records while garnering glowing local and national reviews, and a growing fan base, in both areas. Although informed by such complex and diverse influences as Pete Yorn, Innocence Mission, Red House Painters, and The Cure, their music is never derivative. Their originality and talent has not gone unnoticed; their first recording, "Ruth," was voted Best Recording Debut in South Florida by New Times. Potential singles from their latest recording, such as "Natchez Trace," "I Will Go On," "Canterbury's Song," "Become," and "Ghost Parade," are certain not only to continue, but also to increase, Remember the Ocean's popular and critical acclaim.
- Kissing the Cat/Splendid Indie Magazine, review of "Ruth"
"...are you tired of being offended by crass lyrics, misogynistic, phallocentric stage shows, and bombarded with the generally lazy songwriting that seems to saturate the scene? Well, RTO is one of those bands that won't offend anyone, ever , it just can't... "Tomorrow After Dark" combines lush guitar strumming, pedal steel, and tight percussion with warm breathy vocals for a picturesque experience akin to driving through Connecticut in October..."
Well-produced and mixed solid album that provides enjoyment, a memorable voice, and songs that you will catch yourself singing hours later, plus intelligent lyrics and creative arrangements.
