PropertyOfZack Track-By-Track : : Troubled Coast

PropertyOfZack streamed Troubled Coast’s fantastic new EP yesterday, and now we’re teaming up with the band to do a Track-By-Track. I’ve Been Thinking About Leaving You is out today via our friends at Pure Noise Records, and you can order it here. Check out the Track-By-Track from the band below!

Patient Hands:
The song is mostly about faith loss. About two people being pulled further away from and pushed closer to religion. One day a simple conversation between a close friend and I led us to realize that we were both very unsure of everything. We were both having doubts. Consequently, I ended up leaving our faith. She ended up closer to it. I believed her motivations were based around comfort. Though, I hope she meant it. I still respect her very much and hope she is right but, unfortunately, I feel most deeply that she is not. This is what I was thinking about while writing these lyrics; about watching friends and young people making life changing decisions based around certain beliefs; about the people around me who crumble when their worlds are shaken or fall apart when faith and reality don’t align. I just want to tell them they’ll be ok and that everything doesn’t happen for a reason.

Somehow hands became very integrated into this song. There almost like the main character…if there could be one. At least, I think so. In which ways I’m not completely sure. What they mean, I can vaguely grasp. But they are there catching, waiting, holding, letting go, being anything but patient anymore. I realize, too, that “uncatching” is not a word but I see no problems with making new words to describe or encompass a feeling or thought you can’t find words for.

I’m Still A Loner, Dottie:
I think jealousy is one of the most pathetic emotions. First-world jealousy that is. True and deep jealousy for things and needs essential to life is completely legitimate and calls for real attention. But the jealousy most privileged people experience, typically evoked by insecurity or entitlement is just sad. In a strange and convoluted way, this song is about the jealousy I use to feel and how free I felt when I let it all go. Though, in the aftermath of this freedom I still sometimes think it would be better to live alone than to ever let the Hyde inside me come out again.

“A few months ago, AP brought you a performance from Polar Bear Club, which was recorded as part of producer Sam Pura’s ongoing live-video series, The Waiting Room. In 2012, Altpress.com is proud to be the place to find the premiere of each new episode of the series, which is filmed in Pura’s own Panda Studios. In this teaser video, Pura and Co. reveal just some of the other acts viewers can expect to see in the coming months. (Trust us—the ones in the works we can’t tell you about are just as rad.)

La La Land

walkoffblast:

I just got back from a spontaneous trip to LA with my roommate Kerry. I was supposed to go to NYC this weekend with Cam-Ram to impress some record label execs. but that didn’t work out so instead I went to LA. (side note: Cam, I hope things are going well out there in NYC. If they are hesitant, just flex your blitzkrieged bi’s and we should be good.)

Ok so now onto the important stuff:

THINGS WE LEARNED THIS WEEKEND

1. Emma Stone is a total HB

2. My brother Colby lives in a badass house where all sorts of tomfoolery can be had

3. A-Back looks killer in a mustache

4. If you have a ticket to a Dodgers game and you sit in the bleachers, you are not allowed to go anywhere else in the stadium but the bleachers and the small concessions underneath(pure isolation)

5. Australians don’t know anything about baseball

6. Kerry looks ~~not~~ surprisingly good in flannel and a Miller hat

7. Nascar jackets are sweet

8. Wong further employs the stereotype that all Asians are ninjas

9. Apparently the Best Western in Sherman Oaks is a popular place for prostitutes

10. Yellow Cartigan (this one’s for you Alex)

11. Apparently only hookers that ~~don’t~~ do coke work as waitresses at Fred 62

That about sums it up for this weekend. Hopefully my week can be and eventful and, well, informing as this weekend was.
