Swing the Coast EP Review
By
Swing the Coast has been on tour with some of the biggest up-and-coming names in the pop-rock/powerpop genre, so now seems like a great time to review their self-titled EP, which was recently submitted to the site for review.
The band is currently on some Warped Tour dates and will also be on a portion of the “Rock Yourself to Sleep Tour” with Every Avenue, Sing It Loud, The Secret Handshake, and There For Tomorrow.
Here is a brief bio of the band:
Swing the Coast is a quartet based out of Detroit, MI. Consisting of Josh (vocals, guitar), Travy (lead guitar), Corey (bass) and Myles (Drums). Formed in late spring 2009. The band has been leaving fans wanting more all over the country with the hit single and Worldwide sensation “Suburban girls (Make Me Crazy)” off of their Self- Titled Debut EP, which was Recorded with Producer/Engineer John Naclerio (Every Avenue, The Audition, Senses Fail, My Chemical Romance). With the Deluxe CD being released in the summer of 2010 There is so much more to look forward to with the previously unreleased single “Young In Love” feat. Dave Melillo (Cute is What We Aim For, Nocturnal Me), and other bonus tracks! Swing The Coast has a busy year ahead of them, being on the road, writing and recording the new record, and keeping in touch with their long time and dedicated fans! With undeniably catchy songs, mixed in with their classic charm, The band has proved it’s self to be one of the industry’s top unsigned bands on the verge of stardom. Having made the relationships and networking contacts at such a young age, Swing The Coast can win you over with their all around package and have you singing the next soundtrack to your summer.
As noted above, ‘Suburban Girls Drive Me Crazy’ is the single released from their EP, although I actually prefer the songs ‘Scream (With the Radio)’ [embedded below] and ‘Take This City.’ I’m so used to listening to pop-punk by now that the songs with the biggest hooks and guitar riffs always catch my ear right away in these genres.
If you do happen to be one of the fans that loves ‘Suburban Girls…’, the EP also includes an acoustic version of the song as well.
The new single, ‘Young Love’, is a sure-fire hit among fans of this genre, and should get them some new fans on the Warped Tour dates they are playing.
As mentioned before, the band has been on tour with a lot of the biggest names in the powerpop/pop-punk genres, and it’s easy to see why.
The bottom line here is that if you are a fan of big hooks and catchy choruses, you want to take a listen to Swing the Coast. They may end up on your pop-punk playlist right beside The Starting Line and Sugarcult.
