Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever have signed to Sub Pop. This comes after a successful 2016 with the release of their first EP, Talk Tight. With this announcement, the band has released a new single entitled “Julie’s Place.” The song will be off another EP to be released in 2017. “Julie’s Place” features a steady bass line pulsing throughout the song, working with the drums to create a solid framework for the guitars and keys to be creative with their melodies. The vocals have an airy presence to them, becoming enticing within the depths of the song’s ambience.
Born from late night jam sessions in singer/guitarist Fran Keaney’s bedroom and honed in the thrumming confines of Melbourne’s live music venues, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever began to take shape as audiences got moving. Sharing tastes and songwriting duties, cousins Joe White and Fran Keaney, brothers Tom and Joe Russo, and drummer Marcel Tussie started out with softer, melody-focused songs. The more shows they played, the more those driving rhythms that now trademark their songs emerged. Since then, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever rode that wave from strength to strength. Touring around the country on headline bills and festival slots, they entrenched themselves with their thrilling live shows.
