Best Coast’s Next Road Trip

Following its previously announced East Coast routing, the indie rock duo has booked new dates throughout the band’s favorite side of the country with gigs in Washington, Oregon and California. Plus, Best Coast is headed to the Midwest and Canada too.

The Los Angeles-based group has new tunes to share from its upcoming EP. In a video posted on YouTube in February, Bethany Cosentino said the EP is due out later this year.

“Bob and I are going to be heading back into the studio starting Feb. 11 to record a brand new EP. … We’re so, so, so, so excited to be recording new music,” Cosentino said. “I’ve been writing a lot here in my bedroom. So, yeah, we can’t wait to get this out for you guys to hear.”
