Best Coast

The band is signed to the labels Mexican Summer (US) and Wichita Records (Europe), which released their debut album, Crazy for You, in July 2010. Before that the band released a number of 7" singles on smaller independent labels, including Make You Mine on Group Tightener and Something in the Way on Dean Allen Spunt's (of No Age) Post Present Medium label. The band made a decision not to include material from those releases on their debut album. In April 2010, Best Coast released a video for their single "When I'm with You". In June 2011, the band released their song "Gone Again" as the second single in Adult Swim's second series of the Kia Singles Program. It was accompanied by a video. On August 2, 2011, the band released the video for their single "Our Deal", directed by Drew Barrymore and featuring Chloë Grace Moretz, Miranda Cosgrove, Tyler Posey, Donald Glover, Shailene Woodley and Alia Shawkat. On October 18, 2011, "When I'm With You" was a featured track in the Rocksmith video game series. Best Coast was the first act announced for the Big Day Out 2012 lineup. The band also played the main stage at Metallica's first Orion Music + More Festival in 2012. In an interview with coupdemainmagazine, Best Coast said their new album is different from their first because their "songwriting style was pretty different" and they are now recording in "a much more professional studio". The resulting album, The Only Place. was released in 2012. Best Coast has toured with notable bands, including The Decemberists, and opened for Green Day during their March/April 2013 U.S. tour.
