Wrecked my throat My aching bones I’m going cold Leave me alone Crank! I feel so... Wrecked my mind My wounds are deep I’m feeling flat Leave me sleep Crank! I feel so...

about

‘Flood The Saltpans…Save The Vale’ Coastal Fire Dept are four songs from CFD’s recording sessions for the album ‘Outsiders’ that were left over & destined to be forgotten & collect dust.

For some reason it was decided to finish them off, give them a polish & add some additional guitar grit (from Jonny Langlois).

All four songs took on a new grungy lease of life & sounded great together…and that’s how the EP ‘Flood The Saltpans…Save The Vale’ came into being.

The songs deal with topics such as anxiety, OCD, regret & confusion. All delivered in CFD’s postgrunge style.

Proudly from the Vale, CFD dream of what it would be like if the North of Guernsey was a separate isle (as it was 250 years ago) safe from the madness of modern day life; flooding the saltpans would be the start of such a plan!

‘Crank’ is the lead single from the ep which showcases CFD in a slightly harder punkier vibe still with those catchy choruses & earworms aplenty. These are the early signs of things to come.
