UTRECHTERS BRING HIGH-ENERGETIC ROCK 'N ROLL WITH A PUNK MENTALITY
John Coffey is one of the most explosive live bands the Netherlands has ever produced. With punk and rock 'n' roll as the fuel for pure energy, David Achter de Molen and his bandmates built a reputation from Russia to America and performed on countless stages and festivals throughout Europe. In 2016, they unexpectedly stepped off the stage, only to return six years later sharper and more driven than ever.
The comeback brought sold-out shows, packed festival stages, and a new generation of fans. The band's DIY spirit culminated in Coffey Fest, their own punk rock festival that rapidly grew into a sold-out and unmistakably unique event. Beyond the music, the Utrecht-based band also makes its voice heard when it comes to social justice and political urgency. For a band that always thrives on tension and friction, that is not an exception, but the norm.
