Formed in 2006 as a Reggae infused house show party band, having gone through 3 breakups and multiple fist fights, COCONUT has come together with two of its founding members and a long-time fan to start releasing music in 2014.

Hi, I'm Yoav Lai, podcast producer and content creator. Here is where I post some of my work, as well as promote friends' work, maybe that will include you! Feel free to listen, comment, follow, and message me about promotion or just to talk music!

Loud rock and roll from London, Ontario since 2013. The noisy post-punk fueled guitar hooks and fill heavy drums, kick out the jams in a distortion-heavy wall of sound, mining the likes of all your favorite SST, Merge, Touch & Go, and Matador records. They digitally self-released their first EP in late 2013 which gained the attention of CBC Music’s Grant Lawrence and led to the regular airplay of the single 'Down To Sound' on CBC Radio 3 and a place on CBC's top 15 punk bands of 2015. They released the EP  ‘Welcome to the New Cold War’ on CD and cassette in 2015 via indie label, Curt Murder Fan Club. They released their vinyl debut ‘Let Every Nation Know’ on indie label Yeah Right! Records in March 2016 (Public Animal, Danko Jones, Biters, Single Mothers, Wasted Potential, Dboy, Ancient Shapes). ‘Let Every Nation Know’ heads down the same rabbit hole of interpersonal struggles and intellectual political opinion story telling. They've maintained their stay in the loud rock and roll realm and continue to diversify and pay tribute to former glories of bands such as Dinosaur Jr., Hüsker Dü, The Replacements, Mission Of Burma, The Hellacopters, Hot Snakes, Superchunk, Guided By Voices, etc. Their debut LP, Critical State, to be released on Yeah Right! Records in spring/summer 2019.

The band has shared a stage with Swervedriver, Nothing, Change Of Heart, Constantines, Limblifter, Teenage Kicks, BIONIC, Sam Coffey and The Iron Lungs, Coliseum, Heart Attack Kids and many more.
