Westkust is a Swedish rock band from Gothenburg, Sweden.

History

Westkust began in 2010 without a consistent lineup or sound. In 2011, the band added Hugo Randulv and Gustav Andersson of the post-punk band Makthaverskan and finalized their lineup. They released their first EP, titled Junk EP in 2012 via Luxury. The following year, they released a 7" titled Summer 3D/Weekends.[1]

On March 2, 2015, Westkust premiered their single Swirl from their then upcoming debut studio album.[2] The album, titled Last Forever, was released on April 22, 2015 in Scandinavia and was released in the United States on July 10, 2015 via Run For Cover.[3][4][5]
