"Factory Man" the single by C.O.F.F.I.N releasing Wednesday (August 23rd).
Following their previous single "Give Me A Bite", "Factory Man" feels like rock ‘n’ roll at its purest form. "The song is loosely based around a close friendship my mum had with a really talented artist. He was not able to support his family on art alone and would do FIFO work in the WA mines to fill out the funds. On one such stint, a cherry picker he was on malfunctioned and he was crushed, losing his life. This song ruminates on the idea of being lost and defeated by things that shouldn’t define you in the first place". The song is the final single leading up to Australia Stops, which is slated to release Friday, September 15th.
C.O.F.F.I.N are a four piece hard rock and roll band hailing from Sydney's northern beaches, featuring a lead vocalist on drums. Forming in 2005 as just teenagers, they played their first ever show alongside Australian punk icons / personal heroes the Hard-Ons at community centre all-ages show. Word spread quickly in those formative years and hometown C.O.F.F.I.N shows soon became more like large-scale, community-gathered events, held at venues that were brave enough to host the always chaotic live performances. A yearn for adventure and a strong sense of DIY-ethics saw C.O.F.F.I.N take to the road in no time. Australia/New Zealand, Asia, North America and Europe were hit on countless self-booked tours. Their passion for travel and experiencing new cultures, undoubtedly built the strong foundation of devoted C.O.F.F.I.N fans worldwide (perhaps even unknowingly to the young band at the time).
With years spent refining their craft, C.O.F.F.I.N's music began to focus more on important social issues, such as climate action, indigenous rights and gender politics. The sheer power of their musical response to social injustices we face as a society is a key element that C.O.F.F.I.N fans everywhere have recognised and come to adore. Four studio albums on various labels/pressings and 18 years down their unstoppable path, C.O.F.F.I.N have performed to crowds in the thousands, including various festivals, industry conferences worldwide and the 2022 world tour support of close friends Amyl and The Sniffers. C.O.F.F.I.N have become a cherished band, staple to the punk/rock community across the globe and an integral live band in Australian rock and roll history.
