The Northern Coast (also known simply as TNC) consists of one genre-defying Mancunian by the name of Rob Rochford.

It is rare when a bands name conjures up the perfect images to describe its sound. In most cases the listener is asked to attach their own meaning and imagery to a name, only after thorough listening. This is not most cases.
The name The Northern Coast instantly begins to hint at what is to come. Coastal regions can be at once lush and beautiful, and other times barren, stripped down to the harshest of environments. With the coast, comes the tide, and with the tide comes change. Changing and adapting to life as it comes and goes, while carving tracks in the world beneath us begins to describe the mandate of TNC.
Based out of Manchester, united kingdom TNC would almost be expected to owe a portion of their heritage to their mancunian forefathers. The Happy Mondays, Stone Roses, and Oasis have all helped to solidify that city as one of the most revered in the musical world. However it is the classic american songwriter that seems to have seeped into the soul of the ‘Coast. Owing a debt as much to Simon and Garfunkel or Tim Buckley as modern day songwriters like Sufjan Stevens or Low, The Northern Coast have managed to allow room for influence while carving out a creative niche all their own.

There is something very special about Northern Coast that I love. They are real. Their sound is real and beautiful, stripped down but full all at the same time. They are absolutely AMAZING.
