Grabbing guitars this time around, although “The Fight” sees The Overcoats with a slightly rockier and grittier sound, its anchor is still the amazing harmonies that Hana Elion and JJ Mitchell produce. The album is a battle cry; a rallying call as the band forged a new identity. Released at the start of March, it’s almost like they released the perfect album to get us through this pandemic without even knowing it.

Tempering punk energy with vulnerable vitality and irresistible catchiness, The Fight is a ten-song battle-cry. It’s the kind of record that might inspire you to quit your job, run a marathon, divorce your husband, change your life in the way you always wanted to, but needed an extra push for. The Fight is the push. “The idea you have to fight for who you are, what you want, and what you hope to see in the world became poignant for us,” says Overcoats. “We realized the thing to do is not to wait for life to get easier, but to start fighting harder.”

Case in point – the soaring Fire & Fury thanks to its ascending refrain, “We’ll get through it.” If that doesn’t give you the motivation to get through whatever it may be, you’re ice cold. New album The Fight, released March 6th, 2020 Loma Vista Recordings

Band Members: Hana Elion, JJ Mitchell
