Seasunday: “The Best Thing We Do Is Play Live”

Madrid four-piece Seasunday are a young band, but they’ve already managed to pack a lot into their first couple of years. After forming in 2024, the band released their debut EP Letter to Agneta in February, played shows across Madrid and even made the trip to London. With another EP already on the way, we caught up with Juan, Víctor and Angus to talk about where it all started, their music and what’s coming next.

First things first, how did Seasunday actually come together?

“It was Víctor,” Juan explains. “He and I met at a municipal music centre, and he was tired of playing with older people and said, ‘Let’s start a band.’ We got two more people together, and in the middle of 2024 we were looking for a singer, and through an app we found Angus, and it was pretty cool; we got it going all together.”

And the name Seasunday — where did that come from?

“From nowhere,” Víctor says. “It’s a word that sounds good when you put it together; we thought it was catchy.”

Angus adds: “Yeah, we had a very long list of names and none of them worked. And it was a moment of saying, I think I said, ‘Dude, what about Seasunday?’ And we looked at each other like, well, it works. And we said, well, let’s go with that. And it was like, well, if another better name doesn’t come up, then we’ll keep that one. And another one didn’t come up.”

Víctor adds that Angus was really the one who made the name stick. “The truth is that he was the one who solidified the name; he liked it the most, and he started telling people to call us that, and now it stays like that.” He also thinks the name works because it gives the band something that stands out. “And honestly it’s a name that’s good within what it is, because sometimes people give bands names that are like one word. For example, if we called ourselves Girl, like girl in English...”

“I still like it,” Angus laughs.

“Yeah, the name is cool, but it doesn’t really distinguish us much from the rest, right?” Víctor continues. “But I think it’s a name that is distinctive. There probably isn’t another band called that.*”

Your debut EP Letter to Agneta came out in February. What was the process of getting that together like?

“We recorded it in July 2025 at Metrónomo, which is a rehearsal room from the Madrid City Council. And they have a studio...” Angus begins, before Juan jumps in with a quick thank you: “Thank you very much for everything.”

“Yeah, thank you very much to Metrónomo,” Angus continues. “Without Metrónomo there wouldn’t be Seasunday today, honestly. We recorded in the studio they have, which was an interesting process because we had to record live, which was quite hard. The producer worked magic with the recordings.”

Víctor is pretty honest about the recording setup too. “Even though the service is free, it’s not like the quality is very good either, but well, it’s normal. It’s expected; I’m not going to ask for a professional studio at Metrónomo.”

“And obviously, the producer, Jacob Jr., who is a machine, did it really well,” Angus says. “And ‘Ticket’, the first single, came out in September, and it was a bit of a learning experience as we went along, about how to do social media and stuff.”

Juan thinks the whole thing turned out better than they expected. “And in the end, honestly, it went pretty well.”

“It was a pretty surprising reception,” Juan continues. “Like in the first week there were around two thousand listens, and it was like, ‘Holy shit, quite a lot of listens.’ Of course, we didn’t expect that. We didn’t expect anything.”

Out of “Wondering Why”, “Ticket”, “Beachside” and “Letter to Agneta”, is there one track that feels like it represents the band best?

“For me, I’d say ‘Beachside’,” Angus says. “It’s one of my favourites. It’s one of those songs that I like the most. Yeah, I love playing it live; I love playing that song, I love singing it. I feel like it has that mix of beautiful melodies and then a bit more screaming that I like to put in. And I love the bass. I think the drums are fucking great too. I think it’s like the song where everything works really well.”

Víctor sees it a little differently. “Maybe it’s not the most striking song of the ones we have, but for us, within the band, I think it’s a very... Like, the most fun one.”

“Yeah,” Angus agrees.

“Also, it’s a moment of calm,” Víctor continues. “It's like it gives you a chance to breathe a little and enjoy the song. It comes out very easily and very naturally, so it’s cool.”

You’ve already played several shows in Madrid and made the trip over to London. How have you found playing live?

“I’d say incredible,” Víctor says. “Well, I suppose it’s similar for all bands, but the best thing we do is play live; I think it’s the most fun, and in the end it’s the goal of what we do. And it’s cool because from the beginning we’ve always had quite a lot of support, I’d say, at all the gigs, especially the first ones. First we did a concert at Juglar, which was like our debut, which was pretty cool."

“And we sold it out,” Angus adds.

“That was in October, the first of October 2025,” Víctor remembers.

“Yeah. And then we didn’t play again until January 2026, Xiroco, which we practically sold out too; the crowd was super involved for a second gig. So very cool, very cool. Everything that has been live. And now we’re also really looking forward to playing again in September.”

And then there was London. “London was fucking great too,” Angus says. “It was really cool travelling to play. And although the concert itself wasn’t one of the best we’ve played, like there were a lot of technical problems and stuff, but despite that we had a fucking great time. And it was, like, really cool travelling with the band. I also felt so lucky because I was able to do that with my two best friends.”

LATEST POSTS:

So, with another EP already on the way, what can we expect from Sea Sunday over the next few months?

“Well... A new EP is coming now,” Angus says. “We don’t have the date yet. It’s still to be discussed. But it’s coming. Four new songs are coming. A lot of live shows are coming. We’re playing twice in September. And again in October.”

“And in December?” Víctor asks.

“And in December,” Angus confirms. “So... Yeah, all in Madrid for now. But we’re really looking forward to releasing the songs. I mean, I’m dying to release the songs. Because I think they surpass the other songs by a lot. And also playing. Playing live again. And... And that’s it.”

Finally, is there anything else you want to say to the people reading?

“Thank you very much to everyone who supports us," Angus says. Who come to the concerts, who listen to us on Spotify, on Apple Music.”

Víctor has one final update. “There are three people who have bought CDs on Bandcamp. I sent them about three weeks ago. So I hope they arrive well.”

“So that’s it. Thank you very much to everyone who... To everyone who also does things for the love of art and to support these kinds of things. It’s really cool. And it always helps us a lot, so... Thank you.”

What was the London show actually like? Were you playing with another band?

“No, it was at a festival,” Juan explains. “It was a very big festival, but it was on a more secondary stage, through an association, Climate Live Bus. We were on top of a bus, like a stage at a festival. I mean, there’s the main stage, and we were somewhere else. It’s basically a bus that goes around all the festivals in London, raising funds for climate change. A friend of Angus who is there, Adam, helped us get into that festival at Crystal Palace Park. Honestly, we played first of all. Almost nobody came, but well. It was about going there...”

“The fact of being there,” Víctor adds.

“Yeah, yeah,” Juan agrees. “And travelling with friends, especially, was kind of the goal.”

Who would you say are your biggest inspirations as a band?

“I always go back to Radiohead,” Angus says. “I can’t escape Radiohead. I always go back to... I think everything I do has something to do with Radiohead. But lately I’ve been really into Wunderhorse.”

Juan agrees that Wunderhorse have become an important influence. “I’d also say Wunderhorse right now. I’d say they don’t necessarily influence us. Maybe it’s more indirect. But the band we sound most like, I’d say, would probably be them.”

“It’s something we found that is a little similar to what we do,” Víctor adds. “And from there we also use it as an influence.”
