Coral Springs started out in late 2011 on the west coast of the Netherlands. What defines Coral Springs is a love for pop-punk and punk rock in the vein of bands like No Use For A Name, State Champs, Rise Against and New Found Glory. And the ways in which they seek for balance between the irresistible catchiness of pop music and the energy and intensity of punk rock. In July and August of 2018 the band traveled to Big Dog Recordings in Antwerp, Belgium to record their debut album with Tim van Doorn. “Tim isn’t just a good producer and engineer, he’s also a formidable songwriter with his roots in punkrock,” says Jo (vocals). “His guidance lifted the songs to a higher level.” The result is the twelve track album ‘Always Lost, Never Found’. A surprisingly versatile record that seamlessly alternates fast upbeat punk rock songs with infectious powerpop and tinges of emo. “The album is a blend of the five personalities in this band,” Joris continues. “Every band member poured their heart and soul into the songs and the record reflects that.” Every band member has their own personal input during the writing process which resulted in diverse lyrics covering different topics. “While assembling the record we concluded that ‘loss’ seemed to be an overarching theme,” Timon says. “Whether it’s about losing yourself or losing sight of old friends. ‘Always Lost, Never Found’ seemed to be the perfect way to summarize this.” With this new album, their “expect nothing, give everything” attitude, a modest ambition and free from pretentiousness Coral Springs is ready for (and looking forward to) anything that the future might bring.
