The Cruel Sea
**The Cruel Sea** are an iconic Australian band who’ve been dishing out their swampy, surf-rock grooves since forming in Sydney in 1987. Fronted by the effortlessly cool Tex Perkins (also of Beasts of Bourbon fame), the band blended blues, rock, and a dash of psychedelia into a sound that felt like a sunbaked road trip. Their 1993 smash *“The Honeymoon Is Over”* catapulted them into the mainstream, earning them ARIA Awards and a permanent spot in Aussie music lore. Known for their gritty yet playful energy, they’ve released gems like *Three Legged Dog* and *Over Easy*, proving their knack for mixing twangy guitars with Perkins’ gravelly charm.
After a hiatus in the 2000s, The Cruel Sea resurfaced with reunion shows and fresh releases like *The Honeymoon Is Over (30th Anniversary Edition)*, reminding fans why their music feels like a cold beer on a hot day—timeless, refreshing, and quintessentially Australian. Whether they’re riffing on heartbreak or just having a laugh, their vibe stays gloriously unpolished and infectiously fun.
