Out In Oslo

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.

The album arrives alongside the feature-length documentary ‘10,000 Miles From Oslo’, created by Jake Laderman and Scott Marrinan. Spanning more than two decades of C.O.F.F.I.N, the film traces the band from childhood friends making noise on Sydney’s Northern Beaches to a life spent touring stages around the world. Featuring archival footage, interviews with family, friends and peers, and live performances, the documentary offers an intimate look at the friendship, persistence and DIY spirit at the heart of the band. In the lead-up to the album’s release, ‘10,000 Miles From Oslo’ screened to sold-out audiences across Australia, Europe, the UK and USA.
