Beachwood Coyotes. Have you ever heard of them? They have a pretty impressive story:
[su_quote]Jason is tripping in Hollywood at 2AM. Having just taken acid for the first time, he navigates through a vortex of geometric displays comprising the essence of life before deciding he simply must go on a night hike up the Beachwood Canyon trail to the iconic Hollywood sign. The band Jason has played guitar in since age 16 has just broken up after years of cross-country tours, and he suddenly faces an uncertain future. Unfortunately for Jason, as he approaches the trailhead he spots a group of coyotes heading down towards him. Have you ever seen coyotes on acid? They’re scary as hell. Jason retreats back to his apartment, wallowing in disappointment at another lost opportunity. He discovers the next morning that three decapitated bodies were discovered on that very same trail, victims of an apparent gang hit. Time of death? The exact same time he was scared away. Did those beachwood coyotes save his life? You bet they did. [/su_quote]
Thankfully Jason is alive and well and contributing to the band’s future. Last week, Beachwood Coyotes released Face to Face, the leading single for the upcoming EP Scrubby. This single is based on that acid trip gone-wrong-gone-right and depicts the need and, somehow, the empowerment of moving on when you feel you’re being held back. Its alt/indie-rock vibe makes Face to Face a true joy to listen. It has a very uplifting beat while carrying a melancholic weight in the lyrics.
We say it’s a great way to open the appetites to an EP that is meant to be metaphor of the bands journey so far regarding to growth and amelioration.
Scrubby is due this summer, so make sure to follow Beachwood Coyotes on their socials to keep updated:
