This quartet of lads who hail from north of the border is comprised of brothers Jordan and Luke Melchione, Ian Fasberg, and Benjamin Spurr. The group that is known as The Coast today got started as a group known as The July 26th Movement.

The band whose music is labeled as Alternative but is more on the line with the Icelandic band Sigur Ros or fellow countrymen and Toronto residents Madrid. While not quite the laid back chill out sound of some New Age bands, The Coast is more like New Age chill out for rock and rollers.

The latest musical contribution from The Coast is a six song CD which is more of an EP (Extended Play) rather than a full CD. There is only 24 minutes of playing time on the disc.

A close listen to drummer Jordan Melchione will show that he is more than just keeping a beat, he actually has a part in the make up of the music. With the music of The Coast it is like an orchestra whose parts alone make no sense but once they are all put together into one part it forms a logical price of music worthy of the efforts to play and listen to. And indeed worth the effort to find.
