Expatriate’ will be released in the US this August as The Coast’s
debut full length and the album kicks off with the track “Tightrope”
in all of its “hey hey you!” catchy glory! This hardworking
Canadian four piece has been grabbing a huge amount of attention
including a number of publications touting The Coast as One To Watch
At SXSW this spring, while The Coast were also hailed as “Canada’s
Best Kept Secret” by MTV , named “2008 Artist To Watch”by Exclaim!
Magazine and “Band Destined For Success” by the 2008 Eye Weekly’s
Critic’s Poll.
The Coast mix shimmering guitar with unexpected synth
moves, a bit of distortion, stunning vocals and back it up with a
confidence that goes beyond their years in creating their sublime pop
which inhabits “a territory somewhere between the emotive Brits like
Verve and The Smiths and rugged roots rock a la Ryan Adems” (NOW
Magazine).
Listen for yourself and be sure to get out and see these guys on tour
as they hit a few select cities this month and next showcasing songs
from the upcoming ‘Expatriate’, out Aug 19 on Aporia Records! Watch
for The Coast on tour later this summer with Born Ruffians, too!
