Coach Party grew up on the Isle of Wight (“it’s only a matter of time until you meet pretty much everyone else on the Island\,” says Eastwood) and eventually crossed paths as avid music fans – working in venues\, play ing together and meeting at the same gigs. Coach Party eventually formed a fter Eastwood and guitarist Steph Norris decided to start playing music to gether\; quickly realising that there was something special about the pair ’s songwriting and bond\, guitarist Joe Perry and drummer Page joined the ranks. Musically\, Coach Party are inspired by a broad palate of artists\, but always find themselves drawn back to Nirvana\, Sonic Youth and The St rokes\, and contemporary artists like Wolf Alice\, The Big Moon and Tame I mpala. Ultimately though\, Coach Party’s primary drive to write and perfor m music comes from “the often entertaining struggle of real life.”
\nThe band still live and work on the Isle of Wight (Jess at a farm park\, Guy in a music studio and Steph and Joe in cafes)\, and describe life on t he island as going “through pretty distinct phases of being a great\, and a really frustrating place to live.” The opening of new venue Strings two years ago has raised the energy of live music in the area and provided the impetus for Coach Party’s breakout first offering ‘Oh\, Lola’ in 2019.
\nThe band’s debut 6-track Party Food EP sparked their increasingly ex citing association with Chess Club – a label famed for breaking new talent \, where recent exciting signings include Alfie Templeman and Phoebe Green \, and past successes include Jungle and Wolf Alice. Upon the EP’s release \, Coach Party found themselves subject to acclaim all over UK radio with fans\, including BBC Radio 1’s Annie Mac\, Clara Amfo\, Jack Saunders and Huw Stephens (single ‘Bleach’ was even added to the station’s playlist as Introducing Track Of The Week)\, BBC Radio 6 Music’s Steve Lamacq\, Radio X’s John Kennedy\, and more.
