Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever

Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever description

With surf-rock drenched songs such as “Talking Straight” and “French Press”, the arrival of the Melbourne band’s full-length album Hope Downs was highly anticipated. The lyrics reflect the increasingly weird and chaotic world that unravelled around them during the album creation, as well as the feeling of standing at the edge of the void of the big unknown and finding something to hold on to. The band’s driving guitar riffs and fearlessness make for an electric live gig experience.

The “120 Minutes” revivalists trade manic exuberance for panicked agitation on a debut album that applies their infectious brand of motorik jangle rock to lovelorn ruminations and geopolitical laments.
