We have the distinct honor to premiere a new single and video, “Cigarettes,” from Ohio's Coastal Club off their upcoming new EP.
I'll admit that, from a personal taste standpoint, I was always more of a Parliament Lights kinda guy when I still part of the cool kids in the smoking sections, but with summery notes, full pop flavors celebrating nostalgia and care-free attitudes like this, well then, maybe… Coastal Club is my new pack of choice!
“Cigarettes” is a nostalgic and celebratory anthem about holding onto the youthful spirit and passion of our earlier years. Through its catchy melodies and upbeat rhythms, “cigarettes” reminds us to

cherish the moments that make us feel alive and invincible. The song captures the essence of carefree living and the joys of embracing life with boundless energy. With lyrics that reminisce on the thrill of youth and the freedom of being unapologetically ourselves, this song encourages listeners to never lose sight of the passion from their youth”
The Cincinatti trio will release All The Things You Say on 19 July, available for pre-order on their Bandcamp.
Bad Dad (occasionally called Ed) has been on the periphery of the punk and punk-adjacent scene for over twenty years. While many contributors to this site have musical experience and talent, Ed's musical claim to fame comes from his time in arguably the most punk rock Blockbuster Video district in NJ where he worked alongside members of Blanks 77, Best Hit TV and Brian Fallon. He is more than just an awful father to his 2 daughters, he is also a dreadful husband, a subpar writer, a terrible dresser and has a severe deficiency in all things talent… but hey, at least he's self-aware, amirite?
