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)

Limited four song 12" featuring demos from the stunning second album Sideways to New Italy. The demos are perfectly formed but a little rawer. The jangling guitars are all present and correct and utterly joyous but it's the vocals that give these cuts the edge with an almost Nikki Sudden / Dan Treacy influence.
