JON Rockbitch runs through the line-up:

"John Coffey

Since their inception in early 2009 the five friends from Utrecht, Netherlands that make up John Coffey have been creating a storm as a force to be reckoned with, on both their 2009 debut album Vanity and its subsequent 2012 follow up Bright Companions.

Their incendiary mixture of punk rock, screamo, metal and modern hardcore all served up with a big shot of rock ‘n’roll bravery has earned them a fearsome live reputation as performances at Groezrock and Speedfest festivals are testament to.

Further tours with the likes of Cancer Bats, A Day To Remember & Parkway Drive only helping to cement this reputation further. Bright Companions was produced by Grammy award winning Pelle Gunnerfeldt (Refused, The Hives) and Jag Jago (ex - Ghost Of A Thousand) at the legendary Grondahl Studio in Sweden.

The quintet are currently preparing for the release of their third, as yet untitled album. FFO - The Bronx, Every Time I Die, Refused & Ghost Of A Thousand.

Been around a while - but somehow - never played in Basingstoke - so we're sorting that out. I'd classify them as rock. Best way. Saves anything else. Can't wait to be honest.

Donations entry. Just throw some coins in at the bar. No hassle if not - it'll all go towards John Coffey."
