On April 1, 2008, The Coast will finally release their long-awaited debut album Expatriate in Canada on Aporia Records. The band has been touted as one of the acts to watch in 2008 by Canada’s national music monthly Exclaim! and Toronto’s Eye Weekly, thanks to the buzz that has continued to grow as the band toured extensively across North America last year.
Expatriate was recorded in winter 2007 in Toronto with producer Chris Stringer (We’re Marching On, Ohbijou). The album is a departure from the layered epics of their first EP, harnessing the off-the-floor energy of their live show and letting their signature hooky guitar melodies stand on their own.
A full Canadian tour begins March 30 in Victoria. Click here for the rest of the Canadian tour dates.
