Probably the only 6 Music festival act to have also appeared on the 大象传媒's Countryfile programme, this eclectic band have been going strong since forming in 2000.
Debut album The Decline of British Sea Power arrived in 2003, and they recently marked its 12th anniversary by playing the album in full at London's Roundhouse venue. One of the key tracks, Remember Me, made No.9 on 6 Music's Top 100 countdown in January 2013 - the highest placing of any of this year's festival acts.
They've followed-up with five more studio albums, the most recent being 2013's Machineries of Joy, and have also recorded soundtracks for two films.
Their latest project Sea of Brass combined the British Sea Power live experience alongside championship 28-piece Brass Bands from around the UK. A studio album version, recorded with award winning brass orchestra Foden's Band, is due for release in March.
