What the press is saying...

"For all of our investment scouring the Internet for the 'next big thing' it's fair to become somewhat calloused towards the hyperbole and oversaturated acclaim surrounding each new blogosphere darling. But The Coast, a relative unknown from Toronto, has just penned a gem of an indie pop album that serves as a sparkling expedition into thick, layered pop music that is equal parts Tokyo Police Club simplicity and U2 crescendos." "...unexpected synth oscillations, interweaving guitar jangle enhanced with anabolic distortion and stunningly layered vocals come at you like a ton of bricks..." "While this Toronto band’s deservedly acclaimed 2006 EP bore all the hallmarks of a band that had arrived seemingly fully formed, their full-length follow-up shows them taking a large leap forward." "upbeat, shimmering pop music that could get folks dancing without a single disco hi-hat..... their EP more than delivers on the promise I saw in the live performance." “The Coast are yet another example of the increasingly talented and seemingly unstoppable Canadian indie music scene.” “The spacey, Verve-like quality of their delicate tunes wouldn't sound out of place on the Lost in Translation soundtrack…” “With their urban epics that manage to find light even in the bleakest darkness, The Coast are only getting started.”
