At this point, we’re pretty much all doing it for the love of the game. And indie bands are no exception, providing a soundtrack to this fucked up way of life (gestures around towards *everything*) while desperately attempting to stay afloat — mentally, emotionally, and financially — themselves. Coach Party have distilled this sentiment into a raucous new single called “Do It For Love,” a frenzied fit of electro alt-pop that hit the streams on Monday (August 11) and serves as the lead track to the Isle of Wight band’s forthcoming September album Caramel. ‘”Do It For Love’ is a song about the realities of being a working-class band — the endless grind, the expectations to give everything while being offered so little in return,” says vocalist Jess Eastwood. “It’s a track that speaks to the passion that keeps artists moving forward despite the weight of it all: Doing it for love, even when the cost is high.” That should speak for all of us.
