totallycrushedout: Placeholder “Nothing is Pure” (Better Days) A few months ago when Totally Crushed Out interviewed Coastal, we knew that they would be a band that was on the precipice of breaking big, particularly in their brand of revivalist emo. Now armed with a new name (fuck lawsuits, amirite?) and a new…

The New Year!

So, we try to stay active on this site but it’s sometimes hard because there isn’t a tumblr app for our phones…or is there? Anyway, 2011 has been a pretty great year for us. We’ve had a few set backs both at home and on the road, but those minor negatives help us appreciate the greater positives in relation to our band. Less than nine months ago we started writing songs...

There will be a ton of house shows, and we’ll be playing with some really great bands, there will probably also be some shows with absolutely no one at…but, let’s try to stay positive. We will be sharing a van and probably will come home as not so good...

We have to change our band name

To make a long story short, us and Better Days Records received an email regarding our band name and how we would be committing copyright infringement if we put out the new album under the name Coastal. We are changing our name to Placeholder. We have to make a new page for all social networking sites. Once we have a new page for everything we will post the links. Updates soon!

Lyrics to 'Resent' If you want to, you know, sing...

I sat on the roof with a burnt out cigarette in my mouth I felt the rain, combing through your hair You had to ask what I was thinking right now I didn’t mean, I never mean to do anything Then you scream, ‘you want a second chance, why bother?’ I want to be better than my father But, it burns, the pressure on my shoulders I’ll never be anything like my father Is that all...

Recording!

Hey all! We’ll try to keep this up to date this fall, we’ll be busy with playing shows, recording and making fun of Marco.

The new LP will feature 7 new songs and recycle 3 songs from Demonstration (coastalpa.bandcamp.com). We can’t wait!...

Demonstration Lyrics

What This Means Your confidence, and all its strings attached will complicate the simplest of all tasks. But, on this road, a quarter after two. Raise the doubts, forces me home to you. This night has gone forever I’d hate to let this pass. Honestly, you were never the last thing I’d regret. Waking up, just to go to sleep. Bring yourself to constant self defeat. Ask if I hated this,...
