John Coffey have gone from internet sensation, thanks to the legendary “beer catch”, to one of Europe’s most vital heavy bands. From Graspop, Sziget, Wacken and Pinkpop to Vainstream, Jera On Air, 2000trees and Hurricane/Southside, they’ve built their reputation the loud way.
The Dutch group have sold out the Melkweg in Amsterdam and launched their own punk rock festival, Coffey Fest, celebrating community and uncompromising music. They’ve never looked away from the world around them, using their platform to speak on social justice and political urgency.
The new studio album Not Alone is about connection and recognising that other people feel what you feel. Whether that comes through a partner, a friend, a helpline, or a room full of voices singing back, John Coffey make a strong case for engagement and heavy rock ’n roll going hand in hand.
