Coma Beach-Passion/Bliss
How do you channel negatives into the largest positive force in your life. Don’t ask me, Coma Beach has the answers. It is normal to experience the yang with the yin in life. This band has a special talent to be able to express this through music-melodies and verses that retain their space in your mind. This is their latest EP, Passion/Bliss. It is a collection of emotions that is hair-raising, as much as it is inspiring. The first song is called Passion. The track is reminiscent of the grunge years, sounding like the supergroup Temple of the Dog. They know how well they can traverse the lines of rage and agony, and that is what the song sounds like. Vocals have the rough residue of the emotion, yet the passionate part bursts out in moments. Coma Beach have consistently grown their composition and musicianship through the years. When the song switches to double time, you can immediately hear the punk influence. Bliss might be the counteract of Passion. Like watching a well-made drama, Coma Beach are able to take you through scenes. There is graphic portrayal, yet they leave a lot to your imagination. Bliss has more pain captured within the chorus, something you’ll connect with. The solos are slow, deliberate notes that you can sing. Like Ric Ocasek’s guitar parts in Cars songs, solos will be sung by people with their heart during shows. The band can be proud to produce songs which have such proud dynamism. They don’t lose their edge at any point, crafting their songs to their very individual, raw and brash sound. Astray (Fallen Angel) brings their red-hot sound with some classy, sharp riffs. Coma Beach are creating a sound that is about volume, not the way of dynamism, instead how it fills up a space. You can hear in your headphones when you’re blasting their songs, but also the effort the band puts in. Their songs always start off with a conditioned melodic beginning, but you have to be expecting a charged up explosion eventually. Coma Beach is at their territory in full form, and guns are blazing. Nothing Right and The Final Door has the punk roots while creating a pocket of a closer that they should be proud of. It has the rage like a Motörhead song, and the riffage of a Ramones one. There are phasing effects, some neat work overall in terms of tempo and rhythm. The groove they create truly exercises their prowess, while showing how excited they are for every song. This EP would be a great fit in the new movie The Union (2024). It brings a lot of character into the scenes and would charge the movie up like it deserves to.
