Top 50 of 2012: No.19: John Coffey - Bright Companions (Redfield)




Sometimes surprises come along when being a music obsessive, and a band you’ve never heard of manage to blow you away, John Coffey are such a band, recommended by Ghost Of A Thousand’s Jag Jago as he co-produced the album with the legendary Pelle Gunnerfeldt. John Coffey are europe’s answer to Every Time I Die with a load more melody and just as much aggression, which basically means you understand more of the lyrics, ironic as they’re a Dutch band yah? Kicking off with ‘Announce’ and lyrics about sleeping with a gun under your bed, JC don’t let up for the next 38 minutes with a barrage of punkrock hardcore assault, enjoy.

8.5/10
