Radio de Envy on the Coast
Envy on the Coast is an alternative rock band from Long Island, New York, headed by Ryan Hunter (lead songwriter), who attended Hofstra University (Hempstead, NY) for one year before dropping out. Envy On The Coast is made up of the ashes of three former Long Island bands, the pop punk tinged 3 Minute Warning and Kingston 12, and the post-hardcore band Guilt Like Gravity (formerly known as The Prizefighter, a band featuring the original singer of Taking Back Sunday). The band was formerly known as "Writ in Water" and "New Atlantic" and had a different drummer named 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.[citation needed]
