The Godfathers Announce “Electric Deja Vu” Compilation

2025 sees The Godfathers celebrate the historic milestone of the 40th anniversary since their formation with multiple record releases, as well as tours & festivals across the UK, Europe and around the world. The celebrations will start on the 11th April with Electric Déjà Vu, an 18 track compilation featuring numbers from the band’s three most recent critically acclaimed studio albums (2013’s Jukebox Fury, 2017’s A Big Bad Beautiful Noise and 2022’s Alpha Beta Gamma Delta) that were personally selected by The Godfathers‘ founder and frontman Peter Coyne. A brand new studio single will follow in the Summer with an archive double-live album promised for later in the year, with these releases paving the way for an album of new material in 2026.

The Godfathers were originally formed in 1985 by brothers Peter Coyne and Chris Coyne from the ashes of their previous band, The Sid Presley Experience. They toured extensively and quickly earned a serious reputation for their electrifying brand of primal rock & roll & their incendiary live shows around the world. The Godfathers‘ mob inspired image, raw lyrics and guitar-driven, edgy rock ‘n roll sound was in direct contrast to the clean, synthesized sounds that dominated the mainstream charts at that time. The band have since released nine studio albums, three live albums as well as numerous EPs and singles.

The Godfathers will be celebrating their 40th anniversary on tour in the UK, Belgium, Holland, Sweden, Germany, Austria, Croatia & France in March & April.
