[edit] History

The project was started when Hawkins started recording a few songs at a home studio owned by a friend, Drew Hester. The conclusion was a band would be created, with Taylor Hawkins on vocals. A genre is at this point uncertain, however the sound of the band has been described as "Rush meets the Bee-Gees". Most recently the band has been touring to try to get their name known.

[edit] Debut album

On March 21, 2006, the band released their debut self-titled album Taylor Hawkins and the Coattail Riders. It featured 11 songs which were recorded by the band during 2004, before Foo Fighters started recording In Your Honor. Their first official video clip was of the first song off the album, titled "Louise". The clip was directed by Alma Har'el.[1]
