Eldersea Make Waves with New Single ‘Seaside’

Chicago-based alt/punk-rock band Eldersea have released their latest single, Seaside, marking the second chapter in an ambitious trilogy that began with their debut single Stateside. This release also heralds the upcoming arrival of their second EP, Ahab, due for release in late spring 2025.

Originally formed as a solo project by Frankie Ciccarelli, Eldersea have swiftly evolved into a full band, breathing life and intensity into Ciccarelli’s original vision. Drawing heavy influence from revered names like Alkaline Trio and Bayside, Eldersea seamlessly blend raw emotion with infectious melodies and the uncompromising energy of punk rhythms.

Seaside continues the band’s signature sound: a potent cocktail of gritty, punk-infused rock driven by introspective lyrics. True to form, the track delves into themes of personal struggles, self-discovery, and the tangled webs of human relationships. Ciccarelli’s distinctive vocal delivery, combined with driving guitar riffs and thunderous drumming, ensures that Seaside resonates with fans of both the emo and punk-rock scenes.

Since their formation, Eldersea have built a formidable reputation for their high-energy live performances, where their authenticity and passion shine through, whether on the stage of a packed club or a larger venue. Their music nods respectfully to punk rock’s rebellious spirit while embracing a melodic depth that sets them apart within the underground alt-rock landscape.

With Seaside, Eldersea not only expand on the story begun with Stateside but also offers a tantalising glimpse of what’s to come with Ahab. As they continue working on new material, the band promises to stay true to the raw, heartfelt energy that has become their trademark. Eldersea are undoubtedly a band on the rise, and their journey is one well worth watching.
