Best Coast's debut album Crazy For You was released in the US last week, charting at No. 36 in the Top 200 - a great achievement.
In the UK, the much lauded album (Rough Trade's Album of The Month) is released this week, followed by the radio-surfing single "Boyfriend" on 16th August.
"Boyfriend" has topped the No. 1 spot on Hype Machine no less than five times in the past month.
The LA duo of Bethany Cosentino and Bobb Bruno have grown to a trio with the recent addition of drummer Ali Koehler, previously of LA friends Vivian Girls.
