Envy on the Coast streaming new track Virginia Girls

by Ryan Minic | May 17, 2017

We’ve always had a soft spot for Envy on the Coast. Really though, how can you not love their 2010 album Lowcountry? After a 7-year hiatus the band is making a comeback. And they’re set to release a new EP called Ritual.

Ritual is an EP that bridges the gap between the band’s past and future. It sees original members Ryan Hunter and Brian Byrne taking the group in a new direction. One that we can totally get down with — at least from what we’ve heard so far.

“This EP is a time capsule. It’s a page that was half finished, is now completed, and enables us to sleep at night knowing we can officially move forward,” Ryan explained.

Here’s their new track “Virginia Girls.”

Envy On The Coast recently inked a deal with Equal Vision Records. Ritual will hit streets on June 30th.
