Buoyed by a growing local fanbase and multiple successful tours throughout the western US, Beachwood Coyotes are ready for their next step in their musical endeavor. Their latest EP ’Scrubby’ was released in August of 2017.
Scrubby is produced by Austen Moret. Moret’s influences showed the band a world of endless sonic possibilities. He seamlessly blended samples and electronic elements into the arrangements and incorporated a variety of different influences including hip-hop, hard rock, jazz/funk and even some barbershop quartet, pushing the band’s music into a whole new territory.
Scrubby has been deemed a metaphor of the bands journey so far. “Thematically, the EP deals with growth and overcoming obstacles that have been placed in your way, as well as questioning and rejecting things that you may have taken for granted in the past”, reveals drummer King. “A band coming of age record, if you will”.
Leading single Face to Face highlights the band’s use of infectious melodies, driving rhythm section and strong harmonic vocals, creating the ultimate indie rock anthem. Rolling My Eyes showcases the versatility of the band, with a more funky electronic/hip-hop sound and socially conscious lyrics critiquing race relations in America. “We believe the best bands are like a melting pot of each person’s styles, which together achieves something unique that you’d never be able to sit down and describe in advance”, confides King.
Lyrics:
Jingle Bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way! Oh what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh. Jingle Bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way! Oh what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh. Dashing through the snow In a one-horse open sleigh, Over the fields we go, Laughing all the way, Bells on bob-tail ring, Making spirits bright, What fun it is to ride and sing A sleighing song tonight Jingle bells, j-j-jingle bells, Jingle all the way! O' what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh Jingle bells, j-j-jingle bells, Jingle all the way! O' what a lot fun What a lot fun to ride and sing In a one-horse open sleigh Dashing through the snow 9we are dashing) In a one-horse open sleigh, (One-horse sleigh) Over the fields we go, (Over the fields we go, we go) Laughing all the way, (All the way) Bells on bob-tail ring, Making spirits bright, What fun it is to ride and sing A sleighing song tonight Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way! O' what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way! O' what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh Jingle bells, jingle bells O' what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh Jingle bells, jingle bells, O' what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh (Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way!)Lyrics:
I fell in love before I could learn?To love myself?My mental health is getting worse?And shes gone?Im a victim of playing it safe?Too little too late?Afraid of the stakes??Waited up all night?Id have waited five?To be rejected by a smile??Is it the wrinkles in my face I drank dry??Or was I only a crutch?When you just wanted to touch?And you just wanted to stay the night?Yeah you just wanted to love?Yeah you just wanted the love from me tonight??I stopped respecting myself?To cater to your growth?Again were drunk as hell?Why cant we take it slow?Another pop song about?Someone you cant make home?We need to stop this now?A self aware self note??I set my sights on Orion?Its cuffing season?Winter months?A glass of wine to keep warm?Another word about how we dont work?Oh youre so much work?A wonder???Is it the wrinkles in my face I drank dry?Or was I only a crutch?When you just wanted to touch?And you just wanted to stay the night?Yeah you just wanted to love?Yeah you just wanted the love from me tonight??I stopped respecting myself?To cater to your growth?Again were drunk as hell?Why cant we take it slow?Another pop song about?Someone you can make home?We need to stop this now?A self aware self note??Is it the wrinkles in my face I drank dry?Or was I only a crutch?When you just wanted to touch?And you just wanted to stay the night?Yeah you just wanted to love?Yeah you just wanted the loveLyrics:
This open water well it feels cold as ice But Im contemplating letting go of all of my devices Id wait for summer but it feels right time to get trapped in my own danger with my homies standing by calling "operator" screaming please send an ambulance preemptively is okay Operator You dont have to wonder I am not the answer I wont be your comfort I am just a stand in My heart is racing but im not turning back Cause the victim thats inside of me is ready to surrender Id wait for comfort but theres something that it lacks Like a song with no harmony Its got me calling out for an Operator screaming please send an ambulance preemptively is okay Operator You dont have to wonder I am not the answer I wont be your comfort I am just a stand in You dont have to wonder I am not the answer I wont be your comfort I am just a stand inLyrics:

If you expected me to stay then Im not talking clear as I thought I said I dont need you, I was so close to defeated as I awoke to the pain of your scars Well you did not complain when you was busy holding the cards No no no you did not complain when you was busy wearing me out When did I become a word for creep? When did I become the worst of me? I wanna thank you shy guy for all you suffered for At the tip of my tongue the words fall like heartache Does it take a long time to feel less like (To feel less like) Like dying to me You looked so different when you came back from your trip You said youre busy shedding everything that we had ever started Well you did not complain when you was busy holding the cards You look so different now I wish we never started No no no you did not complain when you was busy wearing me out Everything youve fought for just took off wearing platforms Save yourself the worries, your egos way too fragile Learn from your mistakes Dont text her that you lover her Hold yourself accountable You dont hate losing her You just hate losing I wanna thank you shy guy for all that youve suffered for At the tip of my tongue the words fall like heartache Does it take a long time to feel less like dying? (To feel less like) Like dying to meLyrics:

Should old acquaintance be forgot ... And never brought to mind Should all acquaintance be forgot ... And auld lang syne ... For auld lang syne, my dear ... For auld lang syne ... We'll take a cup o' kindness yet ... For auld lang syne ... And surely you will buy your cup And surely I'll buy mine ... And we'll take a cup o'kindness yet ... For auld lang syne ... We too have run around the slopes And picked the daisies fine ... We've wondered many weary foot ... Since auld lang syne ... For auld lang syne, my dear ... For auld lang syne ... We'll take a cup o' kindness yet ... For auld lang syneLyrics:
Responsible for my voice but I gotta admit sometimes my tongue makes a choice under control of the gin I want to wrap myself in death and destruction I want to infiltrate the pain of seduction Long enough to see the beauty in discipline Discipline Now Im 27 and Im on my way to the club Entry guaranteed but eh line is taking too long I want to exercise my right to feel nothing I want to liberate myself to be corrupted Long enough to see the beauty in discipline Discipline I was drunk driving my car then I woke up next to a bottle of Jose Cuervo Red zone selma and vine I was thinking I dont know my rights wait I want to exercise my right to feel lonely Long enough to see the beauty in discipline DisciplineLyrics:
face to face youre pretending not to smile but you know you got your way face to face youre a selfish little child have you forgotten grace Im sorry but are these words killing you Im sorry but does my worth bother you Try living with the pain Do you remember the dream I had where I left home I was working to get back on those late night shows But I was closer to sick when you had changed your mind You left me to mistake love for passing time Face to face When you gambled my devotion you tested all my faith Face to face I was a pawn at your disposal, just a piece you could arrange high on love you fuck me up calm down my blood the search is done Im sorry but are these words killing you Im sorry but does my worth bother you Ohhh Try living with the pain Im sorry but are these words killing you Im sorry but does my worth bother you Im sorry but does my touch cripple you Ohh Try living with the painLyrics:
I feel lonely No I have never seen the light and im staying with this feeling thats exciting as a book of rules Im so charged up, im so look at me im right and im contesting all the judgement that is hiding in your book of rules Chorus Do you feel it? My faith moved on Im done with believing That ive been loved V2 I am so holy But I dont pray to god at night I worship stability Youre as tenacious as your height and the horses that you pray atop are dying like your book of rules Bridge You cast the first stone I know Im not alone I desire to grow Im better without it when I sin were not built to judge were all built to rustLyrics:
Wait another minute now we're counting seconds racing the clock Times a stretch of land that we burn but we never land on They're screaming "all lives matter" but you'll never hear that coming from me That's so easy to say if you've always been free I'm tired of rolling my eyes Why can't we all look inside I'm tired of wishing the nineties never died I'm tired of waiting for signs As if some bird will show me how to fly Spreading like a cancer but most of us are turning our backs You're Pulling down your hoods just to show us all your hands I bet they never thought about trust when it's coming from me Faith that length is chosen as a belief It couldn't happen to me Thrown in the back of a cop car Unable to breathe They just wanna be free If we're looking away, we're not changing a thing I'm tired of rolling my eyes I dream that hate is benign I'm tired of wishing the nineties never died I'm tired of waiting for signs As if some bird will show me how to flyLyrics:
Lucky with your new fling So lucky to be hand in hand Youre in the comfort of another one All according to plan Theres nothing in between the words I follow When I say no you should believe my pleas I am alone, I am content in sorrow Settle down babe Im finding peace From this side I feel at ease Im chasing daylight Cause its a struggle to remain this torn I found a revive Cause no one ever helped a boy who cried wolf Im gonna take you With a grain and nothing more than that Im staying patient So settle down and then we can be friends
