This is the definitive COFFIN biography, as certified by myself and the Australian Fictitious Band Biographies Committee. [AFBBC]. Australian Punk band COFFIN was formed in 1803 by four hungry young men all looking for the same thing, a hot meal. Quickly after forming and realising that the instruments they had purchased were not nearly as tasty as they had previously believed, they took to playing their newly acquired instruments.

The band was quick to get to work and in the first 3 months of playing together had a total of 783 number one singles. Their rapid rise to success was challenging on all the members of the band and after deciding that they needed a break they went their separate ways. Abijah, the bands lead guitarist, went to Alaska where he spent the next 20 years frolicking amongst the wild moose in the vast Alaskan plains. Ziggy, the bands bassist and notorious sex offender, claimed he had lost 20 cents and subsequently spent the next 40 years trying to find it. There is much debate as to what became of Ben and Arty in this time. The most wildly accepted theory is that they ventured too far in to an abandoned wardrobe and became stuck in a wild and magical adventure story involving a witch and a talking lion.

For reasons unknown to anybody, bar the members of COFFIN, they regrouped in late 2005. Strangely none of the members looked a day older than they were when the first formed and in fact they were actually younger. To this day scientist are bewildered. Once back together the commenced work immediately, with the band producing classic songs such as ‘My Friends Dad’ and ‘I Don’t Need a Girlfriend Anymore’. Soon enough they had enough songs to begin the recording of their de-debut album. After a long and arduous process of recording and re-recording the tracks, they finally completed their album. Nearly one year on it is still to be released.

What the future holds the young upstart punks of COFFIN is a mystery. They have already gathered a cult following of 3-5 people and are getting major attention from record companies. All we can do now is wait and watch as this 4 piece punk band from Queenscliff blossoms into some mutant, inter-racial plant type creature.
