Brazilian-Portuguese hard n’ heavy band COASTWISE releases single and music video Gimme What You’ve Got

ch its destination. It lands on a set of eyes, and for a fraction of a second they lock as if for eternity, only to break the connection just as quickly. But the message was sent and received. The flame is lit and the game is on.

We can all identify with this situation. The tension of lust in the pursuit of passion. The push and pull of the chase. “Gimme What You’ve Got” was written precisely with this focus. It zooms into the highest moment of desire, when the blood is pulsing and the air is hot, just before the energy is released. It takes its inspiration from what is primal within us all, and of something that is in the very essence of Rock.

To this end, the song features a groovy bassline and lots of dynamics, something that has been somewhat missing in modern rock. There is no wall of sound here, as the music ebbs and flows between tension and release, providing the perfect balance of both. It leaves you right on the edge, begging for the fireworks to come. Just like real life.

The fire of Hard Rock burns strong in our chests, and now, it will also be in your mind with Coastwise. The band releases it’s second single “Gimme What You’ve Got”, in preparation for the release of it’s full-length debut album 'Hard Rock Is Back'.

About Coastwise and 'Hard Rock Is Back':

The music world is experiencing a rock revival with fronts manifold. On the one hand, bands like Greta Van Fleet, Måneskin, Thundermother, The Dead Daisies and Dirty Honey are infusing the more traditional rock and hard rock with much needed vigor and energy. On the other hand, groups such as Enforcer, Visigoth, Bomber and Hitten, among many others, have been reintroducing the best of traditional heavy metal into the 2010s and 2020s music scene. But where exactly do these two sides meet? The answer is Coastwise.

With one foot square in hard rock and another directly in heavy metal, Coastwise blends the two into the perfect blend of Hard n’ Heavy. It has everything one could possibly want from the two styles: unforgettable riffs, soaring vocals, groovy basslines, catchy choruses to sing along, tight and bullet-like drums, killer solos, memorable power ballads, and so on… If you can think of it, you can find it in Coastwise.

After releasing their first EP 'War Machine' in 2022 to excellent reviews and reception, Coastwise is getting ready to launch their debut album 'Hard Rock Is Back' on July 5th, recorded and produced by Makoto Yagyu. Their goal is to introduce a new generation of music lovers to what they call ‘the flame of hard rock’. The first single “Waking Nightmare”, released on May 23rd, is the perfect gateway into the band’s arsenal. It joins the two sides of the band into the best way to please newcomers and veterans alike. The second single, “Gimme What You’ve Got”, brings out the band’s more groovy side, with a nice swing and a strong bassline to boot.

The full-length album will come out on July 5th, of course. You will be able to check it out on every streaming service available. While you wait, why not check out the EP 'War Machine'?
