Sydney smashers C.O.F.F.I.N have just announced a string of Aussie tour dates in support of their new album, “Australia Stops”. Taking in LuliePalooza and Meredith Music Festival, the band will blaze through all capital cities in a whirlwind of rock this October and November. As a prelude to the excitement, they’ve also unleashed a brand new single and video.
Following on from previous singles “Cut You Off” and “Give Me A Bite”, new single “Factory Man” feels like rock ‘n’ roll in its purest form. It is the final single leading up to the release of Australia Stops which slated for release Friday, September 15th via Damaged Record Co.
Lyrically, Factory Man is an exploration of modern existence, and the suffering we are willing to endure to protect our sanctuaries & provide for those dearest to us. “The song is loosely based around a close friendship my mum had with a really talented artist.” explains vocalist/drummer Ben Portnoy. “He was not able to support his family on art alone and would do FIFO work in the WA mines to fill out the funds. On one such stint, a cherry picker he was on malfunctioned and he was crushed, losing his life. This song ruminates on the idea of being lost and defeated by things that shouldn’t define you in the first place“.
