Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever is an indie rock band hailing from Melbourne, Australia. The band was formed in 2013 by Fran Keaney, Tom Russo (guitar/vocals), and Joe Russo (bass guitar). Shortly after their formation, Joe White (guitar) and Marcel Tussie (drums) joined the group. With their unique sound and captivating performances, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever has quickly gained recognition in the music industry.

Known for their infectious melodies and energetic live shows, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever has become a force to be reckoned with in the indie rock scene. Their music combines elements of jangly guitars, catchy hooks, and introspective lyrics that resonate with listeners.

Since their inception, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever has released several critically acclaimed albums and EPs. Their debut album "Hope Downs" received widespread praise for its tight songwriting and heartfelt storytelling. The band's latest release "Sideways to New Italy" further solidifies their status as one of Australia's most exciting musical exports.

Short for "Subterranean Pop" 

The label was an outgrowth of [a=Bruce Pavitt]'s Olympia, WA based (print) fanzine, which became the well respected cassettezine of the same name. 

After his move to Seattle he ran a music column in the Seattle Rocket also called Sub Pop.

After initial forays into the record label world with a [a=Green River] 7" (not officially on Sub Pop) and the Sub Pop 100 LP, the label exploded onto the indie scene with four influential colored vinyl 7"s which included [a=Mudhoney]'s "Touch Me I'm Sick" which made the year-end top 10 playlist of nearly every music journalist in the world.

Subsequent hyping of the label in the English music press put them on the map, and grunge was born.

Label-Code is 03159; rarely found printed on releases (basically only on releases manufactured/licensed by Warner/WEA Germany)

Talk Tight is Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever’s first release, and it was originally released on CD in March of 2016 on Ivy League Records in the band’s home country of Australia. Talk Tight – a mini-album, or extended EP, if you will – garnered the band critical acclaim in their home country and in the US, where Pitchfork gave the record an 8.0 and described it like so: Seven rip-roaring tracks that move by their own logic, any one of which could be a single and all of which leave you wanting more in the best way possible... Listening to these seven tunes, you can easily trace a national lineage: the relentlessness of Radio Birdman, the pop literacy of the Go-Betweens, the rambunctious energy of the Easybeats, and the belief—shared with Courtney Barnett—that guitars are not just crucial to the message but might very well be the message themselves. This release is the first time Talk Tight has been available worldwide, and the first time it is available on vinyl anywhere.
