\"\"Sometimes, you may miss a band. And then when you finally hear them you think “how come I haven’t heard this band before?” I’m sure we’ve all had a similar instance, right? Well I’m very pleased that I won’t be saying that about Troubled Coast<\/strong>. I ask you now to keep reading as I inform you of a band who may have otherwise slipped under your radar.<\/p>\n

Please welcome Troubled Coast; a post hardcore septet who fuse together the best parts of Seahaven, Balance And Composure and La Dispute into a blender and dish it up on the shouting verse\/singing chorus structure similar to UnderOATH and Alexisonfire.<\/p>\n

On paper, it sounds great and on ‘I’ve Been Thinking About Leaving You,’<\/em> it thankfully delivers. If you’re into any of the aforementioned bands, then\u00a0you should be able to find something to like amongst these four tracks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘Patient Hands’<\/em> is an explosive intro to the EP as any and the La Dispute-inspired spoken vocals pay focus in the other 3 tracks. The final, ‘The First Night Of The New World’<\/em>\u00a0sounding more like La Dispute musically whereas ‘La Jetee’<\/em>\u00a0brings us the spoken vocals with the noughties formula.<\/p>\n

The only problem with ‘I’ve Been Thinking…’, is that it leaves you yearning for more. If the bands aim was to leave fans wanting a full-length, then they’ve certainly succeeded.<\/p>\n

We wait with much anticpation for what\u00a0Troubled Coast<\/strong> do next.<\/p>\n
