Sounds Like: Classic overdriven Strats, the Hammond and Lesley with the occasional Rhodes complimenting powerful melodies. Proper songs, crafted in a professional manner and played with passion and feel. Somewhere between classic British rock, Britpop and Powerpop - Coaster were in the first place a rock 'n roll band who prided themselves on being the best live unsigned band around. They played the length and breadth of the country - from London's Borderline to Bradford Rio's - from Scunthorpe Baths to VW festivals in Wales - you name it and Coaster played it, blowing the roof off. Playing with the likes of Wishbone Ash and Reef, nobody did a show like Coaster.
With one single that topped the Peoplesound charts at number 1 - 'Mindwash' was recorded by Paul Haden (Shed Seven) at Ric Rac Studio in Leeds. They are still available if you look around-Buy Mindwash , or I have few lying around if you mail me.
Coaster, as a band, came to an end due to a series of unfortunate events and out of the ashes came raised by animals, an amazing new band, drawing on all of the things that made Coaster great - being one of the best unsigned live bands you will see with some of the best original songs you will hear. They are going from strength to strength. Buy the album and see for your self-
