History
Pre-Coach Party
Before forming Coach Party, the band performed under the name Jeph and released three songs: "Hey Baby" (2018), "Harry" (2018), and "Lola" (2019).
Coach Party (2019–present)
Chess Club Records signed the newly named Coach Party in 2019, and the band re-released their previous single "Lola" as "Oh Lola" in November 2019.
In early 2020, the band began releasing singles leading up to the eventual release of their debut EP Party Food, released in June of that year on Chess Club Records. The Guardian Damien Morris reviewed the album and called the band "poppy, witty and experimental," further saying they "are far more interesting than a cursory listen suggests". Morris explained, "Plenty of new indie bands become less interesting the more you hear them, but Coach Party, like the Isle of Wight, are more intriguing than they first appear." NME highlighted how the band tackles difficult subjects, such "as self-hatred, tricky relationships and confronting one’s own inner demons in their lyrics," which NME claims, "when paired with their joyous, pint-spilling brand of indie rock, it’s a combination that so often works wonders".
In September 2025, Coach Party released their second studio album, Caramel. The band performed in record shops across the UK, including a homecoming performance at Triple A Records in Newport on the Isle of Wight.
In January 2026, Coach Party were announced as one of ferry company Red Funnel's sponsors. Later the same month, they headlined an concert at Strings Bar and Venue on the Isle of Wight. Before their performance, BBC Radio 6 Music hosts Steve Lamacq and Huw Stephens had broadcast live from the venue and interviewed members of the band.
