History

Envy on the Coast was made up of former members of three now-defunct Long Island bands, the pop-punk bands 3 Minute Warning and Kingston12, and the post-hardcore band Guilt Like Gravity, formerly known as The Prizefighter. The band was known previously as "Writ in Water" and "New Atlantic" and had a different drummer, Alex Schatz, who left the band for college. Dan Gluszak (formerly of Guilt like Gravity) then joined. The band recorded a 5 song EP with producer Bryan Russell which was officially released September 19 through Photo Finish Records. The band is being managed by Straylight Run's Will Noon, and were featured in April's issue of Alternative Press.

The band's first full-length CD, Lucy Gray, was released in August 2007, the artwork done by dredg bassist, Drew Roulette. FYE was reported by the band in a radio interview to have labeled the CD by "Easy on the Coast." The song title "I'm Breathing...Are You Breathing Too?" is taken from a line of Robert Bolt's novel A Man For All Seasons. The song title "...Because All Suffering Is Sweet to Me" is taken from the last words of Saint Thérèse. The CD title itself is from the poem "Lucy Gray" by William Wordsworth. Envy on the Coast has released two music videos from the CD for the songs "Sugar Skulls" and "Mirrors." "Mirrors" was shot in Paris, France.
