Dutch punk and rock ‘n’ roll powerhouse John Coffey have announced their new studio album, ‘Not Alone’, out October 9th via Long Branch Records. ‘Not Alone’ is about the power of connection. About discovering that there are other people who feel what you feel. Whether you find that connection through a partner, a friend, a helpline, or a room full of people feeling the same music. Talking helps. Singing helps. Screaming along helps.
Alongside the album announcement, John Coffey have also unveiled their powerful new single ‘It’s You’.
“Sometimes we meet someone who reminds us that we’re not alone. Someone who sees us, understands us, and makes us feel that our experiences truly matter,” comments the band. “‘It’s you’ is not a love song to one person, but a celebration of human connection. It’s dedicated to everyone who deserves to know they matter, and to those who make a difference in another person’s life, often without even realizing it.”
John Coffey built a reputation as one of the most explosive live bands in Europe — even becoming an internet sensation with the legendary “beer catch.” From Graspop to Sziget, Wacken to Pinkpop, Vainstream to Jera On Air, 2000trees, and Hurricane/Southside, the Dutch group has played several of the biggest festivals, sold out the Melkweg in Amsterdam, and even launched their own punk rock festival —Coffey Fest — to celebrate community and uncompromising music. Never shying away from the world around them, John Coffey actively uses their platform to speak out on social justice and political urgency. Armed with new music, a fierce activist ethos, and upcoming European tour dates, the band proves that engagement and heavy rock ‘n’ roll are a perfect match.
