Name Origin:
Cosentino explained "I had a friend who I went to college with in New York who was also from California
we would text message each other and be like, "Hey, are you back on the best coast yet?" Its just funny,
and I do think the west coast is the best coast. I wanted to have a name that proves that I think
California is great.
Originally I called it Sundried, and then I was like, "Thats a stupid name." I made a MySpace, and
I couldnt think of a name, and I just called it that. 2 or 3 days later I came up with Best Coast
and it just was a much better name."
