Coach Party air new single ‘FLAG’
They’re also headed out on tour.
Isle of Wight four-piece Coach Party have shared a new single.
‘FLAG’ (aka ‘Feel Like A Girl’) follows the group’s ‘After Party’ EP earlier this year, and is, as front woman Jess Eastwood says, “a song for those who know what it’s like to feel unsafe, objectified or hurt by someone. It’s an intense anger where you just want to see that person suffer as much as they made you suffer. It takes you to the point where you’ll do anything to protect the people around you from this person, whether you know them or not. Look out for your mates.”
It comes with a video by director Dan Broadley. “‘FLAG’ is our ode to out of date scum buckets who hold on to a dangerously distorted set of morals (or lack of), and who should be dealt with firmly,” say the band. “The song speaks for itself, but, for us, Dan’s concept and vision for the storyline further strengthens the important, relevant and aggressive message of the song. And it was sick to dress up like Jane Austen stuff.
“We always have a lot of fun making videos, and with this one we’re stoked to have been able to get out of our comfort zone and push some boundaries. You can catch Jess in the new season of Upton Manor.”
The group are headed out on tour imminently.
