Coach Party release new single ‘Parasite’
Isle of Wight rockers Coach Party have returned with their latest single, ‘Parasite’.
A driving and devastating sub-two-minute punk track, ‘Parasite’ is probably the heaviest song that Coach Party have ever dropped. Killer tracks like ‘FLAG’ and ‘Everybody Hates Me’ have certainly brought the power before, but this is a track that’s custom-made to blow your hair back and get you pissed at those hangers-on who don’t contribute anything to your life.
“Everyone has those people in their lives that they’ll do anything to avoid,” Coach Party drummer Guy Page explains in a statement. “If you don’t, you might be one of those people, and this song is for you: the parasite in human form, whose sole purpose on this earth is to drain the energy, creativity and enthusiasm of generous people.”
“When you see their name flash up on your phone, you genuinely consider eating it,” he adds. “As what is arguably our most heavy track on KILLJOY, the pace and sonics are a direct reflection of how irritating and soul-destroying these parasites are. Take our advice: starve them of your good vibes, and eventually they’ll move on.”
‘Parasite’ is just the latest preview of Coach Party’s upcoming debut LP KILLJOY. We’ve already gotten almost half a decade of singles and EPs from the band, but now, a full-length debut is finally on the horizon.
To celebrate the album’s release, Coach Party will embark on a European tour that will keep them busy throughout the rest of 2023. Stops all around England, Scotland, and Ireland are all set before the year is out.
