Details

**REPRESS ALERT - RECYCLED CREAM VINYL**  Seven years ago C.O.F.F.I.N would enter Pet Food Factory 2.0 to record their seminal album Piss~Up. They would be one of the first bands to record in the newly self-built studio run by Jason Whalley and would mark the beginnings of a lasting relationship between Jay and the band. Featuring Ben Ulitzka Portnoy (vocals + drums), Abijah Rado (lead guitars + lap steel), Arthur Devo Flanders (guitars), Laurence Adams (bass), Ivor Rigney (yidaki / didge), and Aaron Moss (guest guitar) - the resulting record would unveil the band’s early explorations of grief, racism, mindless destruction, violence, and confrontations with Australian archetypes of manhood. With standout tracks: White Dog, Locals Only, Between The Flags, Done By The Dogs. Rather than announcing authority on these themes, Piss~Up reflected on the band’s positions within them, the challenge of recognising their own contributions, and the wish to collectively broaden themselves for the better. Unbeknownst to them at the time, C.O.F.F.I.N was sculpting their skill of drawing in unlikely crowds and conversation. An invitation for self-reflection, the chance to chat to each other, to consider the Other. It was the band’s first 12” vinyl and was self released to a limited run of 150 copies. However, the highly anticipated re-issue is finally here through Legless Records, accompanied by the fourth and final press of the band's self-titled Children Of Finland Fighting In Norway LP re-press.

The 3 albums are available for the first time since 2020, on brand new colour ways, on 12” vinyl and CD, with updated artwork and packaging. What the press said: "This debut is unusually taut and polished, with hooks, crescendos, and clever turns of phrase nearly always in the right place. ” 8.4/10 - Pitchfork “captures more believable, crackling punk energy than most hardcore bands.” 10/10 - AV Club “Recommending this album seems too light a course of action; requiring it may be more apt. Consider Hold on Now, Youngster...highly required, then.” - 9/10 - All Music “They write ridiculously knotted, satisfying hooks… they have great lyrics, great videos, their live show is phenomenal, and most importantly and intangibly (like all great bands) they somehow summon up a world through their music, until it feels as if everything in life is here.” 9/10 - Popmatters
