Crooked Coast doesn't waste a minute getting to the goods. They cut their teeth in the dive bars and tourist traps of Cape Cod, Massachusetts where they learned to get the hooks and don't stop till last call.

Listening to them, you can feel the bright colors of a summer vacation land and the darkness beneath the surface, the winter waiting around the corner.

The quartet - Luke Vose (vocals, guitar), John McNamara (guitar, vocals), Ben Elder (bass, vocals), and Shaqed Druyan (drums) - don’t take genres too seriously. They pull from punk, alt rock, hip hop and reggae. There's an “us against the world” energy that explodes into sky-high rock hooks laced with pop appeal.  After piling up millions of streams independently and earning acclaim from Dig Boston, Cape Cod Times, Vanyaland, and many others, they perfect this balance on their 2022 album Picture This and more to come..

“The sound definitely reflects where we come from,” notes John. “In the summer, it’s basically tropical. Everybody’s in board shorts and sandals. That’s where you get the reggae. In wintertime, we all grew up doing construction jobs, cooking, or working with our hands and listening to rock ‘n’ roll. We fuse these two sides together.”

“We meet visitors from everywhere, so there are all of these different flavors in Cape Cod,” Shaq goes on. “At the same time, there's a ‘Boston Energy’—which is tougher. New England is the fucking best, and we carry that through our music.”

“Since there’s no entertainment industry here, we didn’t have a blueprint,” Luke notes. “If you want to be a professional musician and make original music, you go figure it out on your own.”

A shared sense of brotherhood has driven Crooked Coast since day one. John and Ben played in a band way back in junior high before welcoming Luke to the fold. With the addition of Shaq, the current iteration solidified by 2017. Beyond slogging it out with countless local gigs, “Go Slow” gathered north of 566K Spotify streams. During 2020, “Rise & Shine” cracked the Top 5 of the iTunes Top Reggae Songs Chart. Mixed by Courtney Ballard [5 Seconds of

Summer, Good Charlotte, The Used], their 2022 album Picture This amassed over half-a-million streams as the band graced the bills of major festivals, including Boston Calling, Beach Road Weekend, and Reggae Rise Up. Not to mention producing and headlining their own Coast-Fest in Falmouth, MA. They recently wrapped an album featuring production by Gary Cioffi [Grayscale, Transit], Anthony Saffery [Portugal. The Man] and Charlie Scene [Hollywood Undead.] The new singles are not only fan favorites but have made their way to editorial playlists like Apple Music’s Rise and Grind Punk Playlist.

“Each of these songs is a different exploration,” Luke reveals. “It’s a wide-ranging project, but we were able to tie everything together into a unified sound. It’s representative of who we are.”

In the end, you might want to escape to Crooked Coast for a while.

“If you’re going through a rough time or just had a bad day at work, I hope our songs makes you feel better and forget about your problems,” John leaves off. “We want to take you away from the moment for as long as possible.”

“We just love playing,” Shaq concludes. “We do this from the heart, and I think it’s apparent. There’s so much chaos in life, we want you to have fun, breathe, and live in the moment.”

“Crooked Coast is our own Twilight Zone version of Cape Cod,” adds Luke. “It’s a place you can go.”

One of the coolest things about this place is being able to share unreleased music. We have a lot of music that we write and never makes it out of the studio. For every song we release we probably write five. When it comes time to decide which to put on an album we vote on each one and try to shape a group of songs that compliment each other. This means there are a tunes we love that don't make the cut. Someday they might make a different album, or they will just be something we share with our friends.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
We wrote Future during the sessions for our upcoming album. It's one of my favorites. I hope someday to rerecord this one and release it officially but in the meantime enjoy and let us know what you think.
