C.O.F.F.I.N Announce US Tour Dates & Reveal New Single “Factory Man”

Sydney’s C.O.F.F.I.N have just announced a string of US tour dates in support of their new album, Australia Stops, as well as releasing their brand new single and video, Factory Man. Following on from previous singles, Cut You Off and Give Me A Bite, the track feels like rock n’ roll in its purest form. Lyrically, Factory Man is an exploration of modern existence, and the suffering we are willing to endure to protect our sanctuaries & provide for those dearest to us. It is the final single leading up to the release of Australia Stops on September 15th.

“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.” (vocalist & drummer Ben Portnoy)

C.O.F.F.I.N’s fifth full-length studio album is the highly-anticipated follow-up from their 2020 release, Children In Finland Fighting In Norway. The album comes off the back of a massive 12 months of touring across Europe, the UK, the US and Australia. Diving in as main support for mates Amyl & The Sniffers on their world tour, and slotting in a bunch of headline shows along the way, C.O.F.F.I.N have clocked up well over 100 performances within the past year, stopping only briefly to record their brand new album. Recorded at The Pet Food Factory studio with producer Jason Whalley (Frenzal Rhomb), Australia Stops is a record that showcases a collection of diverse and gripping new works that highlight the band’s evolution into more melodious, 1970’s Australiana and boogie rock and roll. 

Australia Stops will be released on Friday September 15th by Damaged Record Co. in Australia, Goner Records in North America and Bad Vibrations in Europe.
