The Coast Is Ours
by Tim Wenger
It’s good to hear some solid melodic hardcore/pop-punk coming out of Denver. In a city so dominated by indie rock, the new album from The Coast Is Ours is a breath of fresh air. Hard-line distorted guitar work dominates the sound, and Ben Sawatsky’s tenor-leaning vocals are a good reflection of the state of the genre. These guys do it well and the heart that they put into the music is obvious in every song (dare we say, emo?)
The guitar work is often reminiscent of New Found Glory, but strays away with solid lead licks that give The Coast Is Ours their own staple sound. Heading into the holidays and the family time that goes with it, this album is the perfect reminder of the good ole’ days in the early 2000’s when I could return to my hometown, turn on the radio, and be swept away by pop-punk’s domination of the airwaves. Cheers to The Coast Is Ours, let’s keep it going boys.
