C.O.F.F.I.N

A gig held at Exchange on Tuesday 17th November. The event starts at 19:15.

From the Northern Beaches of Sydney, C.O.F.F.I.N (Children Of Finland Fighting In Norway) are a four-piece, high-intensity rock’n’roll band whose sound ventures through boogie, blues, proto-punk and early hardcore, driven by guttural lead vocals from behind the drum kit, high-voltage lead guitars and razor-sharp rhythms.

Described as “reminiscent of Motörhead to the gritty, pub rock ethos of the Cosmic Psychos” (Double J), “a kind of Midnight Oil from the gutter” (Visions), and “a roaring, hip-shaking concoction that comes with a splash of Radio Birdman, and a generous dash of Celibate Rifles” (The Age), C.O.F.F.I.N have carved a unique corner of Australian rock’n’roll.

Their music nods to the rich and raw lineage of bands such as Coloured Balls, The Angels and AC/DC, while filtering it through their own Northern Beaches lens, exploring ideas around Australian identity, community, environmentalism, injustice and the country’s connection with the rest of the world.
