The members met while studying at the Manchester College of Music. The band originally consisted of Mike Vennart (vocals, guitar), Steve Durose (guitar, vocals), Gambler (guitar), Jon Ellis (bass) and Mark Heron (drums).

We regret to inform you that Oceansize have split up.
An explanation for this occurrence is neither forthcoming or indeed necessary. All that remains is to say THANK YOU for being there for us. It's been a very eventful and life-affirming 12 years. We'll miss you.
There will be more music from each of us as soon as possible. "
