Coasts - A Rush Of Blood (Tidal Recordings)

| Coasts - A Rush Of Blood |
Release Date: 31st March 2014
OK, I'm not going to claim to
have discovered these guys as they've already got a serious following on
Twitter but I am happily going to lay claim to announcing this as the sound of
the summer. Coasts are an upbeat Bristol based quintet and this latest single,
'A Rush Of Blood', is surely destined to be played on every E4 montage, behind
World Cup trailers and will be all over Radio 1 like a suspicious rash on the
nether regions of a horny teenager. The club beats mixed with the sunny guitar
melodies make the perfect bed for Chris Caines' smooth, pop-star vocals. This
is the kind of thing One Direction want to be making if they thought it
wouldn't melt their fans' brains and, based on my glance at the Brit Awards
last night, you could very easily imagine Coasts doing a Bastille within the
next 12 months. Not my favourite tune in the world but a band that might just
be in the right place at the right time with the right combination of hooks and
looks.
