Asbuy Park, NJ pop-punks Idle Wave will release their self-titled EP on December 1st.

Check out the new single “You Caught Me” here: https://youtu.be/NxG_hTtH4Xo. The track was mastered by Scott Hull (Nirvana, Childish Gambino).

Developing their sound in basement shows and the Asbury Park music scene, Idle Wave combines the anthemic garage rock sound of Weezer with the hard-truth lyricism of The Wonder Years. Post grad but not dead yet

Departing from their college project Flammable Animals the boys shifted their sound from what was normally basement recordings to bigger live rooms and louder amps through the help of John Ferrara (Trophy Scars) at Portrait Recording Studios.

Not ones to shy away from touchy subjects, “You Caught Me” puts pressure on the conversation regarding guilt and false accusations, while the EP also hones in on depression and the idea of things being out of your control, but not beyond repair.

Idle Wave takes you to a place of 00’s pop-punk nostalgia while holding up a mirror of self doubt, making for a nostalgic but unmistakably current relatability. Post grad but not dead yet.

COERCION is a heavy, driving, angst ridden rock band with punk rock undertones. Powerful, expressive, engaging and relatable to anyone who likes hard edged, intoxicating music. The band features members of Good Riddance, The Lonely Kings, Death By Stereo, Fury 66 and Ghost Parade.

With 4 decades of musical influences ranging from Black Sabbath, Metallica and Killing Joke to punk rock icons TSOL, Agent Orange and Bad Religion, COERCION originally formed in 1996, and then reformed in 2016, releasing a 4 song E.P. titled “Exit Wounds” in July of that year.

In 2017 the band recruited Jim Miner (Death by Stereo/lead guitar) and Anthony Garay (Ghost Parade/drums) and have just finished recording a new album titled “Veritas” due out December 7, 2018 on Bird Attack Records.
