Crooked Coast was formed on Cape Cod in the summer of 2012 . They distilled their hometown’s celebratory summers and harsh winters into a joyful explosion of infectious hooks, sweaty dance floor rhythms, big guitars and vivid wordplay. They toured the East and West coast as well as the Caribbean playing festivals, clubs, bars and colleges. They also conceptualized and self produced music videos and turned their band merchandise into a budding clothing line.  The bands most recent release Put the Night On shows the band growing up. On the single Go Slow, inspired by the anticipation of his first child Luke Vose sings, “Up in the morning the sun is still slumbering. I’m making that bacon and cups of Colombian. Feeling as bright as the sun in the summer. My baby is baking a bun in the over, that baby is coming.” John McNamara belts out a bouncy hook about taking a snapshot of the good times before they pass over the reggae influenced rhythm section. Put The Night On shows the the band flexing their songwriting skills over heavier grooves like the disco punk sing along People Say, the reggae rock banger Akrasia and the west coast dream song California. They wrote their first "lighters in the air," ballad Trying where John McNamara sings about late nights and hard luck love. Dead Presidents is classic Crooked Coast, a bouncy hip hop inspired pursuit of the root of all evil. Cape Cod and Fall Asleep are big loud rock 'n roll parties.  The band also opened the flagship Crooked Coast store summer ‘17 to keep up with the demand for their apparel and merchandise. The Crooked Coast store doubles as an office and creative space where they host art shows and other community events in the band’s hometown of Falmouth, MA. Crooked Coast is a place created out of dreams and built from the ground up. The spirit of freedom and DIY is alive and well.
