The Coasts

The Phony King of England (From the Disney Classic, Robin Hood)

Tom Doz | April 3, 2012

The Coasts are cuties, yet, they have such a gritty and dirty sound. This is why it does not surprise me that these lovable pricks would choose to rock the nutz off a Disney song. When lead singer, Ike Peters, told me that he’d be covering a song from Robin Hood, I honestly didn't know what to expect, but I knew it’d somehow be awesome. The Coasts lived up the hype I built up in my head and surpassed it ten fold. This cover of The Phony King of England is morphed into a Kink-y sounding 60’s garage rock anthem that will make you want to kick your foot through a guitar amp.


A word from The Coast’s Ike Peter’s

Robin Hood is my number one favorite Disney movie. And if it's not in your top 5, then you need to watch it again. And other than every word uttered by Sir Hiss and Prince John, I think Roger Miller's songs are what makes it so standout. We chose one of the most memorable songs from the soundtrack, invited a bunch of our friends and played the ever-living ooh de ally out of it. Hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed recording it.
