Australian punk rockers C.O.F.F.I.N (Children Of Finland Fighting In Norway) have released their sixth studio LP, Out In Oslo. The album arrives via King Gizzard's label p(doom) records and follows a run of singles including 'Sleep In It,' 'Think Bad,' '13 Days,' and 'Gettin' Down.' In conjunction with the album's digital release, the band has presented their feature-length documentary 10,000 Miles From Oslo, which premiered on Rolling Stone earlier this week and is now available on YouTube.

The most recent taste of the album, 'Gettin' Down,' arrived on September 15th. Serving as the album's focus track, the music video is the fourth to be directed by vocalist Ben Portnoy, and captures an average night out with C.O.F.F.I.N and co. Speaking about the clip, Portnoy shares, 'I've found that music videos whose subject matter is mismatched or contrasted with the mood of the song often sticks with me as my mind attempts to marry the two. It was my hope here to promote a pondering that by having a fun party night out as the visuals for a song essentially about being disengaged and distressed with the state of the world.'

Produced by Declan Mehrtens (Amyl and The Sniffers), with vocals co-produced by Jason Whalley (Frenzal Rhomb), Out In Oslo captures C.O.F.F.I.N at their most expansive and refined. While retaining the grit and energy the band are known for, the album broadens their sonic palette with greater dynamics, richer textures and some of their most adventurous songwriting to date. The music nods to the rich and raw lineage of bands such as Coloured Balls, The Angels and AC/DC, while filtering it through their own Northern Beaches lens, exploring ideas around Australian identity, community, environmentalism, injustice and the country's connection with the rest of the world.

Alongside the release of Out In Oslo, the band's story has reached cinema screens around the world, with the feature-length documentary 10,000 Miles From Oslo screening to audiences across Australia, Europe, the UK and USA. Created by Jake Laderman and Scott Marrinan, the film chronicles more than two decades of C.O.F.F.I.N, from childhood friends making noise on Sydney's Northern Beaches to becoming an internationally regarded and respected live act. Featuring testimony from some of Australian punk's most notable figures along the way, the film culminates in the journey to Norway that brought Out In Oslo to life. New screenings in Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide have just been announced with streaming release anticipated to follow.

The new album Out In Oslo is both a celebration of this journey and the beginning of a new chapter.

The tour to date will see them play headline shows at Max Watts, Melbourne and Factory Theatre, Sydney, as well as stops in Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and Hobart.

About C.O.F.F.I.N

Having shared stages with acts including Amyl and The Sniffers, Viagra Boys and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, C.O.F.F.I.N's relentless curiosity, work ethic and commitment to their craft has seen them evolve from a Manly Beaches upstart to one of Australia's most respected contemporary rock'n'roll exports. Their last full-length album Australia Stops, released in 2023, received an ARIA nomination for Best Hard Rock / Heavy Metal Album, alongside a National Live Music Award for Best Hard Rock / Heavy Album.

With years spent refining their craft, C.O.F.F.I.N's music began to focus more on important social issues, such as climate action, indigenous rights and gender politics. The sheer power of their musical response to social injustices faced as a society is a key element that C.O.F.F.I.N fans everywhere have recognised and come to adore. C.O.F.F.I.N have become a cherished band, staple to the punk/rock community across the globe and an integral live band in Australian rock and roll history.
