Coastal Drag's self-produced debut EP, Caught On The Wrist exemplifies a raw vigor unfamiliar, yet refreshing to those immersed in production, tweaking and over-amplification. Mixing an energy of The Stooges, a lo-fi sparseness bearing of early Pavement, Caught On The Wrist lyrically poses the "what if?" scenario that we face each and every day- and often times forget. Eschewing an air of pretentiousness, Tyler Dickson's vocals juxtapose the listener between a passionate storm of pleading for lost moments, future opportunities and the anxiety that comes between.
“…incorporates the finest elements of rock music into an intense sounding melee that resurrects the innovation of early ‘90s pop with reckless abandon, joining together the likeness of pre-Jicks Stephen Malkmus and Sonic Youth’s songwriting tendencies…to put it in the terms of the layman, it fucking rocks.” – 30music.com
“Full of intoxicating guitars and raucous vocals…their frantic songs are laden with piercing guitar hooks and catchy drum beats.” – Soma (feature and interview)
"“Caught On the Wrist” is fun listening for fans of slightly heavy and affected guitar rock, brittle rhythm guitar lines inserted at less-then-totally-obvious points and vocals that express the anguish of malaise. This record will evoke a really early-’90s sound for anyone who remembers the brief charm in thinking of one’s self as a “slacker.” No complaints here." - LA Alternative Press
“Coastal Drag's music recalls a time when indie-rock was about the music, not the spiky belt and black Dickies that your little sister bought at Hot Topic…out-of-tune guitars that blend into a lovely, noisy texture and the lo-fi aesthetic you know and love. Coastal Drag sprinkles the mix with something extra -- something you can't put your finger on -- but whatever it is, the secret ingredient distinguishes the band from the others.” - Splendid Listen
