[July 21st, 2026]- Today, C.O.F.F.I.N (Children Of Finland Fighting In Norway) present their new single “Think Bad”. In addition to the release of the energetic new single, the band announce their sixth studio album Out in Oslo, which will be released September 18th via p(doom) records.
Out today on streaming platforms worldwide, the new single sees C.O.F.F.I.N exploring rock 'n' roll more deeply, taking a step away from fast-paced, wall-of-sound power to a more mid-paced groove filled with ZZ Top-toughness.

Ben Portnoy from C.O.F.F.I.N describes the track’s inspiration as follows:
“Think Bad describes the use of negativity to fuel forward motion. It's about using hard thoughts as a compass, reminding yourself that not everything that feels good is good for you, while at the same time, understanding that the combined weight of cynicism and reckless behaviour can make the greatest losses.”
In addition to the digital release, C.O.F.F.I.N present an amusement park-themed video featuring the band goofing around.

C.O.F.F.I.N are keeping it busy in 2026. In addition to a tour later this year, the band are also gearing up for the release of their documentary 10,000 Miles From Oslo. Throughout July, the documentary has been screening at cinemas in Melbourne, Sydney, Europe and North America, and hits the UK in August. Featuring commentary from family, collaborators and figures across the Australian music community, alongside live in-studio performances and early previews of unreleased music, the film offers an intimate inside view into who C.O.F.F.I.N is.

C.O.F.F.I.N BIO:
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 that 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.
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 we face 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.
