Phantom Ocean

Phantom Ocean are an alt-rock band from the Merrimack Valley in Massachusetts; the duo blends riot grrl energy with grungy riffs and punk drums, and the classically trained vocals of Sarah Smith with the bluesy growl of Drew Smith. The pair released their first EP, Secondhand Ghosts, in 2021, and are currently working on their debut album, due out in the spring of 2023.
