'Baited' by Coast Arcade

 


From their album also called Coast Arcade released 17 October 2025

Kiwi indie-rock group, from Auckland, or specifically Tāmaki Makaurau, on the country’s North Island, according to NZBands website.

Must confess, have not heard their music before, although their first single on Spotify dates from June 2022, so there is an excuse.

This new 2025 album has ten titles, for which I have am favoring this song Baited, even if now I am listening to the June 2022 release "Tattoo" is going to push me to go back through their catalogue.

My usual rant: Spotify, and just about everyone else, makes it so hard to discover new music from New Zealand, and even from the much larger Australian music scene. 

Since the demise of everynoise.com over two years ago it's a real struggle to pull country specific genres out of the Spotify 'noise' that are their New Music Friday releases. Sure it's got better, only lots of great songs and artists slip though the cracks.

Here is a link to a recreated post from a now defunct blog that I posted about the end of everynoise.com back in February 2023:
