Late summer nights, long walks on the beach and summer love.

These are the things that could be experienced when listening to Coasts, the five-member rock outfit from Bristol, England, consisting of Chris Caines (vocals), Liam Willford (guitar), James Gamage (bass), David Goulbourn (keyboard) and Ben Street (drums). The band’s 16-song debut LP, “Coasts” could be defined as modern day alternative pop (alt-pop) with a heavy dose of love and adventure.

Back in 2014, Coasts released “A Rush of Blood,” a single that would soon be on the band’s debut LP, as well as a music video to the song. The video follows a group of rebellious souls that live for travel and adventure as well as for experiencing the greatest things that life has to offer. The upbeat instrumentals played by Willford, Gamage, Goulbourn and Street, alongside Caines’ modulated vocals makes the viewers and listeners feel as if they are on their own adventure.

In addition to “A Rush of Blood,” in June of 2015 Coasts released another single titled “Oceans,” as well as another music video to go along with it. “Oceans” not only gives the viewer and listener a sense of adventure but also a sense of love and drama as one watches Caines fall in love with a mystery woman by the beach and follow the adventure and drama that occurs in their lives.

Furthermore, these two songs are just a little taste of what the band and their LP have to offer. Other great tracks on this 16-song LP include “You,” which has instrumentals similar to that of Metro Station. “Stay,” another great track, almost feels like listening to “Shots” by Imagine Dragons and makes whoever may be listening to it feel buoyant.

In essence, I would rate Coasts’ debut LP five stars out of five. This LP offers various sounds that anyone can jam out to or listen to whenever they need a little pick-me-up when they are feeling down. From the adventurous sound of “A Rush of Blood” to the romantic sound of “Oceans,” Coasts offers a song for any mood.

You can purchase Coasts’ debut LP, titled “Coasts,” from the iTunes store for only $10.99, starting Jan. 22.
