The Holy Sea are an Australian rock band that was formed in Perth, Western Australia in 1999 by frontman Henry F. Skerritt.

In 2000, the band released their debut album Blessed Unrest to critical acclaim, with The West Australian declaring it a work of "provoking depth" and "moody genius".

Skerritt and Hoey reunited with original member Victor Utting and newly recruited drummer F. David Bower.

Although not a commercial success, A Beginner's Guide to the Sea was met with critical acclaim with Drum Media declaring it "evocative, rousing, brilliant!"

[citation needed] In 2009, The Holy Sea was invited by Nick Cave to perform at the All Tomorrow’s Parties festival at Mount Buller in Victoria, Australia.
