Song of the Day - Not Going Anywhere

Today's song of the day comes from UK based indie band Coasts. They are a five-piece band straight out of Bristol, making waves (Another wave pun. I need to get more creative with these.) with their fun and uptempo indie music. Whilst they have been described as surf-rock, I feel that that is more to do with the name than their music, as their music is more similar to The 1975, but happier.

Today's song is called Stay, and is in my opinion Coasts' best song, though there are some great tunes. Their new single, A Rush Of Blood, is released on the 31/3/14 and is a little different to this song, but refreshing all the same.

So What's So Good?

This song will make you feel happy and refreshed. I'm sure of it. It's upbeat, summery and yes, it reminds you of the seaside. It's rare to find music this crisp and clean from a new-ish band. It's beautifully polished and it's a song that will make you feel a little bit better inside.

The guitar is refined and simple but it's easy to listen to. It's precise and a joy to listen to. A vibrating drumbeat drives the song along. It's nothing spectacular, but it doesn't need to be. Lead singer Chris Caines' (I think) vocals are suited perfectly to indie music, with a distinctive sound to his voice but nothing too 'out there'.

Coasts are a really awesome band who can go far. Their debut EP, Paradise, is out now and definitely worth a listen.
