Seaway formed in 2011 in Oakville, Ontario, consisting of Ryan Locke on vocals, Patrick Carleton on guitar and vocals, Andrew Eichinger on guitar, Adam Shoji on bass, and Ken Taylor on drums.[1] All of the members have been friends since high school.[2] Seaway was originally a side-project of hardcore band[2] The Fellowship, which featured Locke on drums, Eichinger on guitar and Taylor on vocals.[3][2]

The band released their debut full-length record in 2013 through Mutant League Records. They began to tour, supporting Major League in February and March 2014.[4] Seaway went on a co-headlining Summer 2014 tour with Stickup Kid, with support from Driver Friendly, from early July to late August.[5]

Films and featuring footage from the band's high school years.[11]

On September 23, 2015, a second single titled "Airhead" was made available for streaming.[12] Colour Blind, Seaway's first full length album on Pure Noise records was released on October 23[12] Three days later, a music video for the single "Best Mistake" was released.[13] The band toured the U.S. in October and November, supporting Knuckle Puck with support from Head North and Sorority Noise.[14]
