Time for a break from all the TV Licensing fun, time to let your mom explain the world. Not through the medium of dance, but through washing:
Came across the song on BBC Radio 6 Music (no TV License required) earlier this week and thought it should be spread further. So here it is.
I promised I’d write a blog post about them, so I better get it done before 2023 comes to an end. Some time during the summer I came across Coach Party from the Isle of Wight, probably on BBC Radio 6 Music. I’m not sure which song I heard first, good chance it was the one I’ve already mentioned:
Some more delicious noise in the next one:
I don’t know what period drama/series (if any) they are referencing in the video, but I think It’s quite enjoyable. And there’s more nice noise
I’m not sure why hate is featuring in their songs at an alarming rate, as here’s a second song with hate in the title, although the roles are reversed this time:
To close a song that hopefully isn’t going to weird you out
That’s it for Coach Party for now. If you didn’t know them before I hope you might have found something you like as well.
Let’s see what I’ll discover next year….
I’ve mentioned Wet Leg on this blog a while ago, now it’s time for another band from the Isle of Wight, which probably will extend to a Bands New To Me post later this year. The band is Coach Party, the song is (obviously) What’s The Point In Life:
Just under three minutes of pleasant noise with catchy lyrics, what’s not to love?
The song is over a decade old, but I only came across it a few weeks ago. It’s been on heavy rotation ever since and probably will be for quite some time. I love the “dirty” sound, the guitar riff, the banging drums, the pounding bass. And the band name is pretty cool as well.
What do you think, do you like it?
PS: I probably should write a Bands New To Me entry about them, they have a few more nice tunes…
I’m not entirely sure when I discovered Skating Polly (Kelli, Peyton and Kurtis), I think probably somewhere around 2018 or 2019. In other words, before I started my Bands New To Me series/category. But with their latest song having just been published I decided to give them a dedicated entry with some of my favourite songs by them, starting with the latest:
In a similar noisy style, but also with beautiful layered vocals:
But they also have a different side, voice, piano and guitar:
Back to noisier sounds from their New Tricks EP with two famous guests, Nina Gordon & Louise Post of Veruca Salt:
Enjoying Hollywood life while not moving to Hollywood or joining the Hollywood crowd:
Another of their older songs, I love the bass line in this one, as well as the pounding and rattling drums:
The second to last song is another quiet one with just Kelli and Peyton singing while playing the piano (and some light drums):
And to close some pure simple noise from before Kurtis joining with just a basitar and drums (and of course voice):
I could have picked many more, but I had to draw the line somewhere and leave you to discover more yourself: Skating Polly website, Skating Polly YouTube channel
