COA Take A “Trauma Dump” With New EP

Boston hardcore mainstays COA (aka Colin of Arabia) are taking zero bullshit. The band have now released their first new music in a decade, the five song EP Trauma Dump, via Triple B Records. The EP was recorded with Alex Garcia-Rivera (American Nightmare) at Mystic Valley Studios directly to analog tape, no studio magic, just raw music. The tracks are aimed to hit where it hurts, packed with gritty riffs and an aggressive and direct vocal delivery from Colin Campbell. The EP’s lyrical content ranges from calling out the “attention economy” to the addressing the ongoing opioid crisis in America and the general struggles of life.

With the release of Trauma Dump, COA continue to show they are band for the people, making music on their own terms. The band will also be appearing at the final America’s Hardcore Fest that will take place at Boston, MA’s The Middle East between the 1st and 3rd of December.
