Gold by Coquin Migale

Alt/indie band Coquin Migale celebrated the release of their second EP with a special gig this week.

The Newcastle four-piece held a launch party for FEEL at The Head of Steam on Wednesday and were joined by Charlie Dancer, Spitfire Hostels and Back Into The Wild.

FEEL is the follow up to their debut EP The Yellow Room and was recorded at Blank Studios in Newcastle across the summer.

The four-track EP features Interlude, Paris and Socotra and lead track Gold, which the band released on their soundcloud in November.

Coquin Migale formed in summer 2013 when current members Alex Soper (vocals & guitar), Matthew Wooton (guitar) and Stevie Kane (bass), all Yorkshire lads, met whilst at University. Drummer Dan Rawlinson joined the band a few months ago, after their previous drummer left after playing with them for a year.

The lads immediately started writing material and produced their debut EP The Yellow Room within weeks. It was recorded in Hexham, Northumberland and released as a free download before the band had even played a live show together. The Yellow Room is a diverse record which demonstrate’s Coquin Migale’s ability to write complex guitar driven indie music with water tight lyrics.

Since its release the band have played all over Newcastle establishing themselves on the local music scene, as well as playing numerous slots at Indie Week, in Ireland.

More recently the quartet have supported Avenues at The Dog and Parrot and played with Spitfire Hostels, Stone Beach and Immy Williams at South Gosforth Social Club.

FEEL was released on December 11 and is available to download from iTunes.
