NEW ON MUSIC COAST ⚡

We just published a full feature + interview with Daniel Lang of The Scratch about Pull Like A Dog.

The big takeaway: this band is way more interested in force, movement, and feeling than they are in neat genre labels.

Our full feature dives into the band’s shift toward anxiety, distance, self-realization, and personal growth - while still keeping the ska-punk energy moving.

We also included the full Music Coast interview with Harrison Nida and Carlo Ribaux.

NEW ON MUSIC COAST 🔥

Sticky Fingers finally made it back to Portland, and Crystal Ballroom felt every second of that wait.

We just published our full recap on the show, the crowd energy, and why this stop felt like unfinished business finally getting settled.

Written with on-site notes from Shannon Crawford.

NEW ARTICLE ON MUSIC COAST ⚡


@BryceVine 's LET'S DO SOMETHING STUPID! feels less like a left turn and more like a full-circle moment - guitars up front, hooks everywhere, and a lot more of the teenage pop-punk brain showing through.


We also included new quotes from Bryce about the record, the collaborators, and why "Right Thing, Wrong Time" stands out.

NEW ARTICLE ON MUSIC COAST

Afroman won the Adams County case after a 3-day trial.

This all started with the 2022 raid on his Ohio home — the same raid he later turned into songs and videos like “Lemon Pound Cake” and “Will You Help Me Repair My Door.” The deputies sued over that music and commentary. A jury just ruled in his favor.

We broke down the full timeline, the key moments from court, and why this case mattered for freedom of speech.

BRICKNASTY IN CHICAGO ⚡️

We caught Bricknasty’s Chicago debut on March 3 at Schubas Tavern - raw sound (in the best way), masked frontman Fatboy, sax lines in the mix, and a drummer who stole the show.

NEW ON MUSIC COAST 🚨

The Sh-Booms just dropped “This Is a Test...” — their first new EP since 2019 — and it’s built like a stand-off against the scroll: long songs, big grooves, and genre collisions that stay dancefloor-first.

We also included an email interview with Alfred “Al” Ruiz (bandleader/bassist) about the title, the “quick fix algorithm” culture, arranging as a nine-piece, and a studio error that turned into the intro’s goth/industrial rumble.

NEW ON MUSIC COAST đź–¤

We just published a feature on Max Marginal and his new single “Never Enough” — a minimal, atmospheric track about the quiet loop of wanting more, comparing yourself to others, and never feeling satisfied.

We also included an email interview where Max breaks down the song’s restraint + repetition and how his solo work differs from his technical death metal world.
