Coastwest Unrest formed in early 2009 as a result of violinist Alex Barnes leaving the UNLV Chamber Orchestra and looking for a new creative outlet--and brothers Josh and Noah Dickie experimenting with unique avenues to express themselves.
They released their full length album in August of 2009 "Songs From The Desert" which instantly became an underground success featuring the classic songs "Our Punk Rock", "Fontana Bounce" and "Las Vegas BLVD".

In response to the success of "Songs From the Desert" Coastwest Unrest will be on a national tour--headling some college festivals and performing in independent venues around the country.
Coastwest Unrest is currently working on their follow up album. Scheduled for a fall release. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
