After releasing a string of synth-pop infused heartbreak tracks, Coasters re-enter the ring with a Western-inspired psych-rock song, ‘U Wanna?’ Since their debut EP ‘Heartbreak Looks Good On You’ in 2023, Coasters have been on a rollercoaster ride of growth and exploration. Opening for iconic acts such as Bongeziwe Mabandla, Jeremy Loops, Desmond and The Tutus, Yellow House and Acid Tongue. The band also ventured to the EU for a whistlestop tour around Germany and The Netherlands, connecting with fans and friends along the way. Whilst in Hamburg, they were interviewed on Byte.Fm and a number of their songs were broadcast.

Now two years old, Coasters has become well-known for their easy listening, ethereal music that sparks interest with dynamic lyricism. However, band-mates Luke and Kat are excited and curious to explore a plethora of genres. ‘U Wanna?’ was birthed as a result of this mutual desire and tentative sonic exploration. When Luke first played Kata the distinct, psych-rock guitar riff, there was an immediate inspiration to write a song that follows the story of a cowboy-draw. The story of ‘the draw’ in combination with the powerful instrumentals and vocals, align to create a sense of tension and momentum that builds throughout the song. A solid bassline, dirty guitar riff and church worthy organ, culminate in a catchy instrumental meal, topped with Kata’s belting vocals.

‘U Wanna?’ will be the first of three singles to be released in the next two and a half months. At which point, the band will hole up in their studio to work on their debut album.
