Many indie bands of recent years sound more sedate and monotonous with every song and every album. There's no sign of the genre tiring, however, and that's largely down to bands like Coach Party. The four-piece from the Isle of Wight have turned many heads in recent years, and not just in the UK, with a few EPs and their debut album ‘Killjoy’ (2023), which was – musically, at least – a complete success. They are now regarded as highly acclaimed indie newcomers who are one of the more unusual acts on the British scene thanks to their lyrical combination of difficult topics with a nostalgic feel-good sound. Songs such as ‘Micro Aggression’ or ‘All I Wanna Do Is Hate’ are prime examples of what the band knows how to successfully realise: forward-moving, positive songs that simultaneously navigate sensitive terrain in terms of content.
