Tom Costello recently celebrated the vinyl reissue of his “Coastline” EP.

The celebration continues with the EP’s single, “Something's Coming For Me,” as the Makin Waves Song of the Week.

As the Makin Waves Song of the Week, “Something's Coming For Me” also can be heard between 6 and 8 p.m. on March 7 on “Radio Jersey” at ThePenguinRocks.com. If you miss it, you can tune in any time in the archives at The Penguin and Mixcloud.

"’Something's Coming For Me’ deals with the feeling of burnout after chasing the things that you've wanted for a long time,” Tom said. “It's the last track we put together for the record, and I'm glad it made the cut. I think it has a Tom Petty vibe.

“We put out 'Coastline' back in September as a digital release,” he continued. “While it's only an EP,  it combines a little bit of everything I like in music. I thought the end product came out great, and wanted to have it exist in a physical format. I found a company from Ohio, Little Elephant Custom Vinyl, that specializes in short runs, which is exactly what I was looking for. We have a limited number of copies up for grabs,  and I did a solo show at Twin Lights Brewing on the 22nd to celebrate the release. I will be back again for sure at Twin Lights Brewing this summer and will be back in the studio late summer/early fall to start working on a new collection of songs.”

Tom also is scheduling shows with his backing band, the Turnaround.
