Seward

Seward is a Barcelona-based group from Spain, active since 2010. The group is associated with alternative pop and alternative rock, and Juan Rodriguez Berbín is a member.

Style and live reputation

Their music is described as drawing on a range of influences, including the rawness of Captain Beefheart, the storytelling of Tom Waits, the guitar-led dynamics of American Music Club, the layered detail of Efterklang, the emotional directness of The National, the restraint of Sigur Rós and the rhythm-driven approach of Animal Collective. They are also noted for their live performances and for building an audience largely through word of mouth.

The group is based in Barcelona, Catalonia.
