If bands were to be known by the company they keep, Stay, the blissful expansive single from Bristol based Coasts sound like they’ve spent the last year hanging with Two Door Cinema Club, dabbling in the odd rendezvous with The Beach Boys, cavorting with The Manic Street Preachers and fraternizing with Friendly Fires. And thus in the process have whipped up something very good indeed. The first single to be taken from debut EP Wildfires, this is an ambitious band with the capability to entrance.
