Music like Coasts

Coast is a Scottish rock group, based in Oban, UK. Coast's members are Paul Eastham (lead vocals, keyboards, guitars, accordion), Chris Barnes (percussion) and Finlay Wells (guitars).

Coast was formed in winter 2007 by the Stockport born singer-songwriter Paul Eastham and his brother, Chris Barnes. A classically trained pianist, Eastham had previously co-written and co-produced the first EP by the Welsh singer Duffy, Aimée Duffy, which was released in 2004 under the Welsh Awen Records label. Eastham also played keyboards, synthesizers and guitar on the EP.

Coast's first EP was The Great Crowd, released in January 2008, also on Awen Records. Per Paul Eastham in the accompanying DVD for the album "'10'", Coast was originally intended to be a studio-only project. But due to the positive online reaction to the title track, a live lineup was soon assembled. Coast performed their first live show at the Storm Club in Leicester Square, London, on 12 March 2008.
