<B>Coat</B>'s roller coaster "Squirrel" is a turbulent mix of noisy grinding guitars,
hushed feverish vocals, rockin' nimble bass and smashing drums, all packed into 
one of the most intriguing three and a half minute pop singles in recent memory.

This band combines two dense guitars layers with dramatically shifting song 
dynamics without sounding messy and contrived. Fused with playful structural
psychadelics, this combination results in an explosive burst of pop that's been turned 
upside down, melded with darkness, and produces an intoxicating brew of melodic 
whimsy. Coat pushes the limits of noise!
<P>
With their boy-girl-boy-girl line up, Coat can come off as gratifyingly raw or 
gleamingly pop. Yet this L.A. based quartet has a limitless capacity for drawing one in with 
achy guitar melodies. Their hyper-hypnotic rhythms combined with oddly accessible pop 
hooks, create a natural flowing buoyancy. If you like your pop hard and heavy combined 
with an avalanche of punched up riffs, then check out Coat!
