Coma Beach are a punk rock/alternative rock band from Würzburg in Germany and were formed in 1993 by singer B. Kafka, guitarist Captain A. Fear and drummer M. Lecter, with bassist U. Terror and rhythm guitarist M. Blunt completing the line-up.

Nothing Right is their latest single, released on 06/08/2023 and is the second single from the band’s album The Scapegoat’s Agony.

The band have musical influences that range from The Sex Pistols, The Ramones, Hüsker Dü, Joy Division, The Cure, The Jesus and Mary Chain to Guns N’ Roses, Therapy? and Bad Religion and this is a band who are not afraid to wear their influences on their sleeve.

A very punk-based track, Nothing Right is the story of someone “taking stock of his deeply lamentable existence so far,” and then the unnamed antihero erupting “into a harrowing scream of anguish and disbelief.”

The track opens with some meaty basslines before the energetic drumming and raw electric guitars kick in. The track is very guitar-driven, the heavy hooks and riffs really pulling in the listener, and the buzz that this song creates keeps them there.

The vocals are, once again, very punk-inspired, with lots of primal, shouty lyrics, and accompanied by backups that are in much the same vein, the listener can really hear the angst the character is feeling.

I have reviewed music by Coma Beach before and, once again, they have not disappointed. This track is raw, in your face and honest, the lyrics portraying ideas that most of us think at one point or another!

If you haven’t yet checked out Coma Beach, why not? Head on over to Spotify and see what you think for yourself. For fans of old and new punk alike!
