Sean shares music duties with cousin James. He is very quiet, with his comments being few.  He has done some interviews by himself and comes across as intelligent and well natured.

Sean is not the flashest of drummers but has a forceful steady rhythm. He is a human metronome, just think of how he drives along songs like 'Motorcycle Emptiness', 'Faster' and 'A Design For Life'.

He is classically trained in the trumpet and has used this talent in the songs, 'Kevin Carter' and 'Ocean Spray'.  He is the perfectionist in the band and is probably the only member fully content with the music since the disappearance Richey. During recording for ‘Gold Against The Soul’ he placed microphones outside the barn to capture the sounds as extra backing for the songs, however ducks kept chewing them apart.

Sean loves any electrical goods and usually buys countless items when tour. He also loves computer games especially in the early days when him and James used sit there for hours and play Sega.
