About the Artist It's extremely rare for a band's debut album to be released with such optimism and confidence. However, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever's debut album, "Hope Downs," is released under such circumstances. The Melbourne quintet has generated a lot of buzz with the EPs they've released in recent years, but this debut surpasses them. The promises the band hinted at in their early works are fully upheld in the 10 guitar-pop tracks on this album. While their songs show influences from Australian predecessors like Go-Betweens and Flying Nun artists, don't mistake Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever for mere nostalgia. 'Hope Downs' is the sound of a band with its own unique sound.
