Coach Party are back. The Isle of Wight four-piece have announced details of their second album Caramel, set for release on September 26, 2025 via Chess Club Records. The new LP follows their acclaimed 2023 debut KILLJOY and sees the band take the reins on production for a raw, high-voltage snapshot of modern emotional life.

Across its ten tracks, Caramel tackles the loneliness, rage and catharsis of existing in a hyper-online, burnout-heavy world, while celebrating the people who pull us back from the brink. The band describe it as a record rooted in real connection, honest, frustrated, but ultimately life-affirming.

To mark the album announcement, Coach Party have released new single “Girls!”, a fiery call-to-arms With frontwoman Jess Eastwood rallying listeners with the line “where the fuck are my girls?”, the track leans into community and collective release, built around a call-and-response chorus designed to shake the room.

“It’s a mosh-inciting, live hype song,” Eastwood says. “Along the lines of: for the next three minutes, whoever you are, you’re all my girls and you’re all gonna fucking mosh. When it’s over, you can go back to being whoever you usually are, but for right now, let loose and have fun.”

Caramel marks a step forward for the band, Jess Eastwood (vocals, bass), Steph Norris (guitar), Joe Perry (guitar), and Guy Page (drums), who all grew up in the Isle of Wight’s tight-knit music scene. Since the release of KILLJOY, they’ve toured with Queens of the Stone Age and Wet Leg, stormed Glastonbury and SXSW, and played packed headline shows across the UK, US and Europe.
