Coal MP3's/RA

Vancouver's only "ethereal psychedelic western noir lounge act", Coal combines the talents of Nicole Steen (vocals, guitar), Marcus Rogers (bass), Jon Wood (guitar), and Ian Tiles (drums) to create truly unique music.

Coal's music has been described as "smoky, sultry and eerie all at once" (Impact), "with an incredible gothic texture that brings it to the realm of ambient blues..." (Exclaim), and "Cool and atmospheric as hell." (Eye Weekly)
Since the formation of Coal in 1990, the group has released a full length self-titled CD and cassette on indie label Zulu Records (currently distributed by Polygram), and a single on Vancouver's Mint Records CD e.p. "The Mint is Still a Terrible Thing to Taste", featuring a torchy cover of Motorhead's "Ace of Spades". Coal has recorded a live performance on CBC Nightlines' Supersessions (hosted by David Wisdom), and have recent tracks included in a new Vancouver independent feature film, "The Widower", to be released in 1999.
To date, Coal has produced four music videos (including "No Angel" and "Sleepwalking"), broadcast nationally on Much Music. Their fiery "Ace Of Spades" video placed in rotation for several weeks in 1994.The latest video"Invisible Man" is also included on Coal's new enhanced CD "OneTrackMind" available through CDStreet here!

"Not at all what I was expecting... Decidedly interesting collection of tunes."
"...southerny, twangy, ballad rock music with sweet sounding female vocals."
-- HYPE (Seattle)

"... low-key moody and a perfect compliment for a glass of dry white. If both mellow and intense could ever be used to described a single band, this is it."
-- WESTENDER (Vancouver)

"The music has an incredible gothic texture that brings it into the realm of ambient blues - very somber and truly painless."
-- EXCLAIM (Toronto)

"...morphine cool, sorrowful country laments... 3 AM atmospherics... a character to call it's own."
-- THE GLOBE AND MAIL (Toronto)

"Nicole is a capable singer and can twine her country and blues well... Music is hushed and nicely done."
-- ALTERNATIVE PRESS (Cleveland Ohio)

"Coal knows how to adjust time and how to use silence as a heartbeat."
-- THE VANCOUVER STEP
