A recent snippet of a review of our RANCHfest show by Mark Bignell of Radio Bandcouver on CFRO 102.7 fm
"COAL's dark, sexy torchy goth twang was up next. Vocalist / guitarist / songwriter NICOLE STEEN and her band are delightfully impossible to catagorize. That's what makes their music all the more fun. The ubiquitous JON WOOD added some nice ear candy with his atmospheric and well accented guitar fills. MARCUS ROGERS held down the foundation with his melodic bass lines, and the always skillfull and tactful IAN TILES hit the skins in all the right places."

COAL's track "Unreal" is No.2 on Indie Journal's top 10 this week!
