Seafood were formed on August 31st, 1996 by David and Charles, who advertised for a female bassist and male drummer in classified magazine Loot.

Seafood were signed to Fierce Panda Records after their fourth gig in London's Highbury Garage. Fierce Panda Records is a London -based Independent record label, with its first release in February 1994.

Seafood came to the attention of the music press with the release of "Scorch Comfort" on Fierce Panda, a noisy but melodic track that was oddly compared to both Sonic Youth and Bis. This was followed by the release of "Psychic Rainy Nights" on Kooky records, and "Porchlight" on Fierce Panda. All of these singles were eventually compiled with their b-sides on the Messenger in the Camp mini-album.
