COASTLINE

Nick Margerrison chats with James from Morecambe-based band Coastline on Beyond Radio's Lancaster Unsigned. They discuss the shift from a long-running covers setup into releasing original music. James explains the band's roots with Tom Woods and members Liam, Lucy and Stefan, and how past writing experience in other local bands led them to develop powerful, hook-led songs designed to stand as "bangers" in their own right. The show premieres their unreleased track "Celebrate" as an exclusive, with Nick describing it as epic and anthemic enough to sit alongside their live covers sets. James shouts out local inspirations including Soul to the Sky, Lowes (with their drummer Luke producing the song), Kiwi, Good Boy Nikko and Early Darts, and they discuss the supportive Lancaster scene and Morecambe's influence. Coastline announce their first live originals performance at the Unsigned Music Festival at the Tap House and share where to find them on social media: https://www.facebook.com/coastline.22
