RFC PO'S: Koji, Coasta, Captain We're Sinking


Recommended Posts

The tour press was an extra run of tests so they could have something to sell on tour. Labels do this often to help out the band especially when vinyl is delayed.

So it's technically a test? There isn't like an /5 or something set of tests out there?

Jeff's been sick & in the hospital for the past month, so that could cause the delay in correspondence.

This has been on and off for the past year, so sadly no.

Technically yeah. It was probably an additional set of tests ordered for the band to sell because it has blank labels that just say Side A and Side B. Probably not the tests sent to RFC to listen to for quality (nobody gets sent 75 tests) but expedited by the plant because they needed vinyl before the rest of them were pressed. Again its not uncommon. I have a few other such LPs in my collection.

Bumping this to unfortunately let everyone know that Coasta announced their breakup about 10 minutes ago on Facebook.  Here's the statement copy and pasted since I'm dumb and can't figure out how to link the actual post on my laptop:

 

"We are obviously not a band anymore. Sorry to anyone who was waiting for another release from us. We are so appreciative to anyone who listened to our music, or bought any merch from us. Thank you. It was fun while it lasted.

Jamey has started a new project called pool hop, and will be making announcements about new music being released in the upcoming weeks. You can follow him on Instagram@pool_hop"

 

Super bummed about this.  They only released that one EP but goddamn was that EP flawless.  I still listen to it every once in a while and get goosebumps all the same.  To this day, I was still holding out hope that they would announce a full-length or SOMETHING else.  It's such a shame these guys never took off cause man they were great.
