Sydney's very own hard-biting rockers; C.O.F.F.I.N are a four piece, full force, boogie rock ‘n’ roll band featuring snarling lead vocals from behind the drum kit, high voltage lead guitars, and steady rhythms that keep you stomping along. Forming in 2005 as schoolmates, the band was influenced by a huge love for music, skateboarding and a good-times-all-the-time attitude. From humble beginnings playing their first show at the age of 12, opening for the Hard-Ons at Manly Youth Centre, the band have meticulously carved out their own corner of Australian Rock n Roll.
C.O.F.F.I.N’s unique blend of a hip-shaking and boogie, yet chaotic and punk live show has gained them a passionate following, gathering widespread acclaim for their high energy, lyrical activism and howling guitars. Over the years, the band has clocked hundreds of gigs, headline tours, and numerous festival appearances the world over. They’ve toured and shared the stage with bands such as TSOL, Celibate Rifles, Dead Kennedys, Misfits, Amyl and the Sniffers and the Hard Ons to name a few.
C.O.F.F.I.N have recorded and released five studio albums, one live album, and three EPs, all of which have sold out globally. Their most recent LP entitled ‘Australia Stops’, was released through Goner Records (US), Bad Vibrations (UK) and Damaged Record Co. (AU) in September 2023, breaking milestones here in Australia with a #2 debut on the Australian ARIA Charts, winning ‘Best Hard Rock/Heavy Album’ at the National Live Music Awards and an end-of-year appearance at the highly cherished Meredith Music Festival.
Internationally, the band received higher global recognition and acclaim, reaching an impressive #5 in Vive Le Rock’s top 50 albums of the year of 2023 (UK), plus features in Rolling Stone (France) and Visions Magazine (Germany).
Armed and ready to hit the road, 2024 see’s C.O.F.F.I.N touring twice across Europe and the UK, joining esteemed festival lineups such as Wide Awake Festival (UK), Binic Folks Blues Festival (France), Palp Festival (Switzerland), SonicBlast Festival (Portugal) and Wilwarin Festival (Germany) amongst many others.
