With Alex Newport (Two Gallants, Sepultura) on production detail, expect a splash of tidal wave proportions from these

"Sounds like the band has pulled out all the stops. Compared to the small, hushed strains of "Big Okie Dokie," their new songs, like "Modern Lover," are built to rock The Pond without losing their uber-indie cred. Kevin's vocals are the American, sweeter, less monotone version of Mark E. Smith—which, ironically, make them sound nothing like Mark E. Smith if that makes sense. Gentler than The Replacements, less drugged out than The Lemonheads, CoCo B's wear their fuzzed-out pop anthems on their sleeves....." - 3 HIVE
