Best Coast – Everything Has Changed, Different Light

By on Tuesday, March 17, 2020

Vevo announces the release of Best Coast’s live performances of “Everything Has Changed” and “Different Light.” With big guitars, direct lyrics, and a pleasantly laid-back attitude, the Los Angeles duo Best Coast play a tuneful version of punk rock that nods toward ’60s pop and ’90s alt rock informed by the sunny days of their hometown. The duo of guitarist/vocalist Bethany Cosentino and guitarist Bobb Bruno started off small, issuing a string of singles before becoming an internet-fueled sensation.
Their albums range from simple Ramones style (their 2010 debut Crazy for You) to arena-ready (2015’s California Nights). Their popularity as a live act grew steadily and the musical bond between Cosentino and Bruno held firm. The duo’s 2020 album, Always Tomorrow, shows the band still in love with the hooky bubblegum-punk sound they started out with, and stretching out in new areas, like commercial radio pop.

I’m sitting in an IHOP in Detroit trying to wrap my mind around what’s going on. It feels surreal and sci-fi but sadly, it’s entirely real. ⁣ ⁣ I’m so lucky that music is my job and that I’ve been lucky enough to travel the world and work through my issues through song and all of the incredible things I’ve been able to do thanks to this band. This tour, albeit cut short, has been one of the most magical and inspiring experiences of my life thus far. I am so sad to see it end the way it is, but I also understand it’s out of my control. ⁣ Any artist can tell you that the transition from the road to home life is hard on many levels, so to be thrust back into that so abruptly stings. The fact i was supposed to be playing a show with my friends tonight but instead I’ll be on a flight home- confuses my brain to no end. My heart goes out to every other artist and band that has had to cut tours short because of this. Be easy on yourself (reminder to self!) ⁣ ⁣ While I am of course, like many others, anxious because my livelihood was just stripped from me for the foreseeable future- I can not imagine the anxiety and fear of people less fortunate than myself. Please remember to be kind to service workers right now – they may not have the option to take time off from work. This disaster is the exact reason why I support @berniesanders and Medicare For All. ⁣ ⁣ Please remember to be gentle with yourself, and take time away from the news and internet if you must. Love y’all. See you when these dates get rescheduled. Thanks again for the support now and always.⁣ ⁣ 💜💜💜 bethany
