Coasts
Wallow

Tidal Recordings

WE SAY

Another act worth adding to your schedule for The Great Escape this weekend are unsigned Bristol five piece Coasts, whose Foals-esque new track Wallow is released on July 8. Previous single Oceans was a Next Hype for Zane Lowe, with Huw Stephens, Jen & Ally, John Kennedy and Amazing Radio all showing some love, while their first London show at the Barfly sold out in March with the help of a Ones To Watch feature in The Fly. Wallow has just gone to radio, earning an addition to the Amazing Radio A list, and racking up a respectable 60k YouTube views in four weeks. A UK and European tour now beckons during May and June, with Reeperbahn to follow in September. Well worth keeping a close eye on this band.

London gig: Borderline, June 1
The Great Escape: Hype Machine Stage, Old Ship Paganini Ballroom, May 18, on stage 12.30pm
