West Midlands rockers Coast To Coast have revealed details regarding their third and upcoming EP. The new release titled The World Doesn’t Work is scheduled for release on 26th October via Fox Records. Sticking with their tried and true formula of recording with trusted producer Ian Sadler at Emeline Studios and mastering put in the capable hands of Grant Berry at Fader, the band took their demos and knocked them into shape, declaring: “This is the strongest stuff we have made. We’ve transitioned well into a more mature sound and found our own style within that.”
Revealing that much of the lyrical content is drawn from his relationship with his Father, including using genuine comments he has made, Keiran also shares a surprising source of influence: “I wanted to write more subjective lyrics as I’ve always admired bands such as Oasis who are able to write them in a way which means they are interpreted differently depending on who is listening.”
Pre-order the new EP.
“The title refers to how negative experiences can affect you and your loved ones. Tracks like ‘The Sun is Dim’ and ‘Good & Grim’ relate to my personal outlook on life and the world, one which can sometimes seem negative and pessimistic. The EP title is a lyric from the track ‘Boxing’ and refers to a time when I felt very low and isolated, with a warped view of the world. I think that lyric, in particular, summed up the whole feel of the EP.” – Kieran Hyland (vocals)
Take a look at the lead single; Be Kind:
“It is a song about how another person can change your perspective on things, allowing you to see the world differently.” – Kieran Hyland
Of the artwork, guitarist Alex Edge summed it up with the following:
Artist Brandi Strickland manages to perfectly convey a sense of being overwhelmed, with how busy and chaotic the piece is, which I think it really fits in with the themes of the EP. We fell in love as soon as we saw it.”
