Girl in a Coma New Album 'Exits & All the Rest' Out Now

San Antonio’s Girl In A Coma have left a permanent tattoo on the hearts of thousands with their piercing songs and nuclear performances. They're adding more anthems to their cannon with their new album, Exits & All the Rest, out today on Blackheart Records. Already receiving praise from NPR, Austin Chronicle, San Antonio Express-News, Rolling Stone, LA Weekly and more, the band’s untamed sound exudes more confidence and strength than ever before.

Exits & All the Rest is currently streaming in its entirety on AOL Spinner and the record was premiered on NPR’s “First Listen.”  The band’s new video for the album track “Smart” evokes the tone of some of their favorite videos from the 80s. Seen first on RollingStone.com, watch it here.

From sharing stages with their heroes to experiencing Arizona’s controversial laws firsthand, the album was born in an especially intense period for the band. “Hope” is a pogo ready punk assault that speaks to the Arizona immigration dispute while daring you to stay still. Album opener “Adjust” is a tale of persecution and a sonic mindfield. Nina Diaz’s voice turns from a lament to a growl in a split second while the thundering combination of Phanie Diaz’s drums and Jennifer Alva’s bass rattle your ribcage. “One Eyed Fool” is a fearless and bare declaration of the universal need to be loved. “Cemetery Baby” underscores the bands ability to seduce you with melody no matter how tragic the message. “Smart” showcases GIAC’s own special recipe for a melodic pop song. The stomping rhythm of future GIAC anthem “Control” lays a foundation for Nina’s voice to build empires of heartbreak on. The stamp San Antonio’s music scene has left on the band is all over the album and it’s stabs of punk, tejano, rockabilly, classic rock and roll, rancheras, indie rock and ballads all contributing to a sound that can only be described as Girl in a Coma.

Girl in a Coma is currently a national headlining tour promoting Exits & All The Rest. Be sure to catch the band live in a city near you!
