There is no such thing as a group with an original sound. There are only groups who blend sound originally. And this is what Coach Said Not To does. Inspiration comes not from miraculous or grandiose sources, but from what catches their eye in the everyday. After an idea graduates to song form, music is churned through the Coach Said Not To sausage factory. This five-song handshake of an album serves as a concise introduction to their musical approach. The album ranges from manic, to dancy, to spacy, to festive, to meloncholy. It snaps, it grooves, it floats, it drifts, it rocks. Subject matter is observational, conversational, sarcastic, sympathetic, cynical, and satirical – all in just under 23 minutes. There are strong melodies and harmonies. There are rhythmic shifts and ornamental sounds. There is also the occasional attempt at humor. But like all music worth listening to, words really never do it justice. So, see if their claim on originality is true – give Coach Said Not To’s debut EP a listen.
