The Swedish band, Coastland Ride, released their third album, "Distance", with
a label known for its excellent quality releases, Avenue Of Allies! Just this deal
by the band shows us that we're in for high-quality material. And indeed, the album
is full of well-written compositions, wonderful keys, melodic guitars and crystal-clear
vocals. I would describe their music as driving melodic rock music.
The kind of music that makes you want to get in your ride and start a wonderful journey!
Add the fantastic production into the mix, and you have all the pieces of this beautiful
musical puzzle. One of the good releases - if you like quality Melodic Rock music,
this is an album you shouldn't miss out on.
In summary? These guys come from the great music scene of Sweden, and they've released
a very well written album with quality compositions.
