![]() Life’s good on the Isle of Wight, especially when the sun’s out. Next on my list would be to go and see my gran Barb, who’s also my bestie! We hang out, drink tea together, and then my Grandad (who’s an old-school rocker) will ask me about music “these days” and tell me that he doesn’t quite get it-always a fun conversation. Growing up on the island has made me feel very connected to the seaside and the ocean! After coming home and getting ready, I’ll normally call my mum or go and see her because she’s my bestie and I love her…and I love seeing our family dog, Penny. I love leaving the house early to walk down to the beach and have a cup of tea in my flask and mug. Jess: Waking up at home is always a treat, and now a rarity for us. It’s right in the middle of town, and a prime location for people-watching, dog-watching, and just generally chilling out whilst having access to all the best food. It’s all very wholesome, and is a great real-world alternative to relying on instagram to tell you what people are up to. ![]() They tend to ask “How long you back for then?” and I ask how their things are going.

Guy: Ideally, my day starts with enough spare time to fire up our semi-pro coffee machine and knock out an oat latte. See more below, and grab tickets for those upcoming US shows on their site when they go live at 9 a.m. But when you really open your eyes, you realize there’s so much that you could never even hope to do it all.”īefore they leave home again later this month, Page, bassist/vocalist Jess Eastwood, and guitarists Joe Perry and Steph Norris take us through a perfect day in Isle of Wight, from the morning brew courtesy of their questionable on-the-road coffee machine to catching waves at Compton Beach. On the surface, there’s very little ‘to do’ here. “It’s having those routines that can only exist at home which makes me really love it here. “To grab the world’s best pizza and take it down to the world’s best beach just up the road has been a big part of life over the past few years,” drummer Guy Page tells us. It’s obviously a good sign that their shoegaze-y take on grunge has become in-demand enough that a three-month tour is warranted, but by the way they speak of their increasingly rare visits home it may be a bittersweet moment in their blossoming career. Needless to say, a perfect day spent on their native island is quickly becoming harder to come by. ![]() ![]() Now, on that release date, they’re additionally revealing plans for their first string of US dates to follow, capping off their big year in both New York City and Los Angeles. At the beginning of the summer, shortly after announcing their debut album KILLJOY, Isle of Wight–based rockers Coach Partyunveiled an ambitious tour schedule spanning their native UK and Europe that would follow the record’s September 8 release. ![]()
