Official press release:
Stoke-on-Trent, UK’s Black Coast have signed to Papercut Recordings, the label from Leo Valeri and Ryan “Tuck” O’Leary. The partnership launches with new single “Overflow”, punctuating a bold new chapter for the band and serving as the first step toward a full album planned for Spring 2026 (more on that to come). Fans can stream “Overflow” HERE. Watch the accompanying music video here:
“Overflow” narrows the frame to the private headspace people use to cope when life swells too loud. Speaking on the track, vocalist Charlie Hewitt shares:
“‘Overflow’ is the inner escape that everyone dwells in. I don’t want to wake up to reality sometimes. Sink in the overflow.”
That sentiment threads through Black Coast’s catalog, which has drawn comparisons to Alice in Chains, Deftones, and Linkin Park while carving out its own identity. The band has accumulated over 4 million streams across platforms, with their work tackling mental health, personal struggle, and the weight of unprocessed emotion.
“Overflow” arrives as Black Coast enter into a bold new chapter. Their newly inked deal with Papercut Recordings comes after years of self-releasing music and building a dedicated following through relentless touring and raw, emotionally charged performances. The band has worked with producer Sam Bloor at Lower Lane Studios since 2019, a partnership that has shaped their evolution from their 2021 debut album Outworld through their 2023 self-titled EP.
Black Coast will support the release with in EU and UK tour dates in November and December, including shows with Silly Goose and a London date supporting Profiler on December 10 at The Black Heart.
