History






= 2012–2014: Early years

=
Coin was formed in 2012 by Chase Lawrence, Ryan Winnen, Joe Memmel, and Zach Dyke. Lawrence, Memmel and Dyke were students at Belmont University. Lawrence and Memmel were classmates who often sat next to each other in music theory classes. After they decided to try writing music together, Winnen and Dyke were introduced to them through mutual friends. The band then decided that they needed recorded music in order for promoters to book them to play live, so they recorded four songs at their school and released them for free on the internet. When they started playing local shows around Nashville, the band quickly attracted a highly enthusiastic and loyal live following. Prior to the release of their debut album, they released two EPs: Saturdays in late 2012, and 1992 in 2013. The song "Atlas" was released as a single in August 2013 from the EP 1992. "Time Machine" was released as a non-album single in October 2013. Both "Atlas" and "Time Machine" were later re-recorded and put on the band's debut album. In March 2014, the band released a re-recorded version of their song, "It's Okay", as a non-album single.

The group released their single, "Run", in early 2015 and were hailed by Billboard as "new wave crash-course survivors," destined to "break the Nashville mold." The song received positive reviews, as well as heavy airplay on Sirius' Alt Nation radio station. On June 9, 2015, the band released their self-titled debut album Coin, produced by Jay Joyce. Looking back, the band called the record "precious," as well as admitting "there are a lot of little things that will always be a part of [their] DNA from that album."

After touring for the release of their first album, the band released the first single from their second album in May 2016, "Talk Too Much". In February 2017, the band released "I Don't Wanna Dance" as the next single from their forthcoming album. In March 2017, a re-recorded version of their song "Malibu" from their EP 1992 was released as the first promotional single, re-titled "Malibu 1992." Two weeks later on March 23, 2017, the group announced the title of their second album: How Will You Know If You Never Try. Following the announcement of the album, the band released the second promotional single, "Feeling," on March 31, 2017. The album was released worldwide on April 21, 2017.
On February 8, 2018, the single, "Growing Pains", was released as a follow-up to the 2017 album.

In 2020, they announced their Dreamland Tour that was set to cover several states across the United States. However, they were forced to postpone several shows on this tour due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

On September 18, 2020, Coin returned with a new single, You Are The Traffic. This was the first release from a new EP, Indigo-Violet which released on October 22, 2020. Just three weeks earlier, the band announced a new project titled Rainbow Mixtape which would be 12 songs split into three different EPs that each represented a different color of the rainbow. They described the record as an exploration of "all the colors we can create together," nodding to the project's sonic differences from their older work. One of the key messages of the project is "Don't turn your back on the ones who don't turn their back on you."
In September 2021, Coin brought out a new single, Chapstick. This marked the beginning of a new album cycle, culminating in the March 25, 2022 release of the band's fourth studio album, Uncanny Valley, featuring fourteen new songs. As part of the Uncanny Valley tour, Coin performed their largest show to date at MGM Music Hall at Fenway on September 23, 2022.

Alongside the album, the band released a branding package based on the album's name, including a website that generates text so fans can fill in the blank and post a custom "I'm Not Afraid of ___ Anymore" image on social media. The tour was subsequently named "I'm Not Afraid of Tour Anymore."
