Alt-pop Trio Coyote Theory Announces Debut Album ‘Still’ Out March 14

Platinum-certified alt-pop trio Coyote Theory are thrilled to announce their debut album Still out March 14th via Nettwerk. The album acts as a mode of discovery for the band as a whole and individually, questioning why they still wanted to make music. The result are tracks like today’s release “Fingers Crossed,” about feelings of inadequacy. Listen to the single HERE.
“We kept asking different questions like, ‘Why are we still doing this? Should the music still sound the same?’,” drummer Jayson Lynn recalls. “The title just made sense. It’s akin to when you run tap water for the first time after a long while and there’s dirt coming out. For us, we needed to run the tap a bit and get back to a place where we felt comfortable and clear. From there, an album streamed out.”
“’Fingers Crossed’ is a song reflecting that feeling of presumed inadequacy and not knowing what to do about it. It’s about making a fool out of yourself, while trying to find your way out of that space. It’s a dancey and funky song, counterposed by more somber lyrics,” adds the band about the single.
“Fingers Crossed” follows a string of previously released singles like “Waiting On The Weather,” “How We Live Now,” and “Maryland,” all off the band’s forthcoming album. For more information on the LP, follow the band on socials.

Hailing from Orlando, FL, Coyote Theory—Colby Carpinelli [lead vocals, piano], Jayson Lynn [drums, percussion], and Grayson Hendren [bass, guitar, vocals]—lean on their longtime union for strength and inspiration, anchoring an ever-evolving hybrid of alternative, indie, and pop punctuated by just the right amount of jazz. They unlocked chemistry during marathon jam sessions as kids, and 2011 saw the group unveil their debut Color EP, produced by James Paul Wisner (Paramore, Dashboard Confessional, Gatsby’s American Dream). After three years of grinding extensively, the members agreed to pause the band, yet their friendship flourished. By 2019, Colby, Jayson, and Grayson collectively experienced an itch to write and record again, and conversations commenced. Though the Pandemic slowed the initial plan, the Color standout “This Side of Paradise” organically exploded on TikTok fueled by posts from the likes of mega-influencer and platinum star Bella Poarch. Following a re-release of the initial EP, “This Side of Paradise” surged, generating over 600 million streams globally and over 2 billion uses on TikTok, knocking Cardi B’s W.A.P. off the Spotify Global Viral Charts and reaching platinum status. Throughout 2022, they parlayed this momentum into the Late Night EP and Live From the Babcock EP. Tallying over 1 billion streams and garnering an audience from a new generation, the group is continuing to put out catchy music fans can relate to with Still.
