Coasting is a female duo out of Brooklyn. They play a mix of surf, garage rock, and 90's indie rock, a sound everyone seems like they're trying to achieve lately. What sets Coasting apart from most is that they're able to achieve it.
The a-side of this record has the same name as the band, and from everything else I've heard by them, the song definitely sums up what they're doing. The song fucking rocks, hard. It's instrumental, totally surf, and totally bad ass. The drums are heavy, the guitars heavy, and it's still melodic. If The Ventures were around today, used distortion pedals, and listened to Mudhoney, it would probably sound something like this.
The b-side, titled Hots For Teacher, isn't instrumental, is less surf, but rocks just as hard. The melody is infectious and it's heavy enough to completely kick your ass. Definite 90's subpop influence.
Pretty rockin' 7".

buy from Group Tightener (it looks like the pressing is limited to 1000 so you better order quick before it's sold out!)
