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.
With an infectious hip-shaking groove, a chaotic, punk live show and a commanding voice of political activism, C.O.F.F.I.N has captivated a passionate following and widespread acclaim across the globe. They’ve clocked hundreds of high velocity performances, countless headline tours and unforgettable festival appearances, and has shared the stage with iconic and influential bands such as Amyl and the Sniffers, Viagra Boys, Tropical F*ck Storm, TSOL, Celibate Rifles, Dead Kennedys and the Misfits to name a few.
Exploring song themes on their own Australian experience, C.O.F.F.I.N voice their juxtaposition between the serenity and beauty of the stolen lands we walk and live, as well as the harrowing social injustices and prejudice that is deeply ingrained within Australian culture. Every performance is a platform and an opportunity to voice for positive cultural change and there is never a stage too large or small to challenge and confront outdated, yet modern Australian-ideals.
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, which scored a nomination for ‘Best Hard Rock / Heavy Metal Album at the 2024 ARIA Awards and won ‘Best Hard Rock / Heavy Album’ at the 2023 National Live Music Awards. Internationally, the band received higher global recognition and acclaim, reaching #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).
With an unquenchable thirst for adventure and discovery, C.O.F.F.I.N have set out on several international tours across the USA, Europe, UK and Asia. They’ve joined esteemed festival bills such as Meredith Music Music Festival (Australia), Wide Awake Festival (UK), Binic Folks Blues Festival (France), Goner Fest (USA), Palp Festival (Switzerland) and SonicBlast Festival (Portugal) amongst many others.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Theatre Royal.
