Just about 659 Spotify monthly listeners might deceive you into thinking Coma Beach is a struggling band without critical appeal. This is most certainly not the case…in this instance, the numbers are lying because this band has gone on to amass massive international buzz with their epic style that restores the lost purity of punk and alternative rock. Their debut album, “The Scapegoat’s Agony” has been warmly received, earning massive streams on popular platforms and elevating the band’s international status. Taking cues from the Irish playwright and novelist Samuel Beckett’s sophisticated views on the world, this band transforms fascinating perspectives into melodies with universal appeal.
Let’s talk about their third single, “Another Song” off of this critically acclaimed album. Throughout this tune, Coma Beach wears their hearts on their sleeves, each member contributing to the cohesiveness of the music as well as its infectious energy.
Right from the opening notes, the foot-tapping energy is exuded through that refreshing concoction of the drums and guitars, creating this rhythmic, driven beat that you immediately want to dance to because it is simply irresistible.
The lead singer matches the energy and rhythm of the beat with his self-assured vocals, and you know what happens when this is the case; – an undeniably engaging masterpiece!
Borrowing from Beckett’s own harsh view of everyday life through the lens of an antihero with no regard for human existence, the captivating and danceable beat is in brilliant contrast to the gloomy nature of the raw lyrics…it’s like dancing to your own misery and inevitable despair.
Listening to this music, I get the same feeling as watching the “Joker” particularly the scene when Arthur Fleck is dancing amidst the chaos unfolding before him; it’s such a thrilling feeling that I got off this jam!
The rhyme scheme-flavored chorus is another stunning highlight of this jam, with the give-and-take between the lead and backing vocalist continuing playing in the mind long after the song is no more.
“Another Song” is a masterpiece in punk and alternative rock music transcendence!
With over 36K Spotify streams and charting at #11on Apple music, it is about time you embrace the energy and realism Coma Beach bring to the music table.
