Artist:COIN
Song:Talk Too Much
Album:How Will You Know If You Never Try
The 2016 single Talk Too Much is to date the only chart single for the indie pop band COIN. They were on a major label at the time but not anymore. Lead singer and keyboardist Chase Lawrence, guitarist Joe Memmel, bassist Zachary Dyke and drummer Ryan Winnen were all students at Belmont University in Nashville. Lawrence and Memmel were classmates in music theory and they frequently sat next to each other. They decided to work together and Dyke and Winnen were introduced to them by mutual friends. They released music on the internet so promoters would book them and started playing local clubs. They released a couple of EPs and got a deal with Columbia. Their 2015 debut album COIN was produced by Jay Joyce. When the album was a sales disappointment, the band decided to produce the 2016 album How Will You Know If You Never Try themselves. The single Talk Too Much reached #8 on the Alternative Rock chart. They brought in Tim Pagnotta of the band Sugarcult to produce. He produced four songs. Recording engineer Andrew Maury produced the rest of the album. When the album was again a sales disappointment, Columbia dropped them. Since then COIN released an album on their own label. And their latest album Uncanny Valley was released last year on the indie label 10K Projects with Virgin distribution. There's nothing wrong with COIN except for a generic name and music. Talk Too Much has a strong hook but they may not be distinctive enough to get anywhere. Here's the video for Talk Too Much by COIN.
