Just listen to “Pussy Bow” and tell me you’re not blown away by the raw power in such a stripped-down song. That is where Coasting thrives, in the in-between space between punk and rock, between feminism and politics. This duo is fervent and rapid and fast becoming one of the best acts in Brooklyn.

Fiona Campbell plays drums like her life will end if she doesn’t hit them as hard as she can. Madison Farmer sings in a sweet voice, but when you see her perform you’ll be shocked at her boldness. And the fact that Campbell is from New Zealand and Farmer is from Arkansas, well… let’s just say uniqueness comes to them naturally.

“Pussy Bow” is off the band’s debut 7″ out on M’lady’s Records next month and available for pre-order NOW. Get it!

Coasting plays tonight at the Chris Knox benefit at Le Poisson Rouge and tomorrow with the Clean and Dimmer at the Bell House.
