The name Coasters was always going to cause a few problems for this West Country punk-americana outfit, not least amongst fans of late 50’s R’n’ B bands. Now armed with a new name and clutching the soon to be available Sting Like A Butterfly ep the band head into the second chapter in their story. Taking the same “ex-punks explore the sound of the American heartland” path as trodden by the likes of The Gaslight Anthem and Chuck Ragan, this is music built from huge riffs, big choruses and a heart on sleeve honesty that should easily blur the lines between cult favourites and commercial success.
