Bright Companions

John Coffey

High-octane Dutch punk recorded in Sweden. A sweat-soaked collision of post-hardcore grit and southern rock swagger that hits with the force of a stage dive.

It's like a stage dive captured on vinyl, but with way more catchy riffs than you'd expect.

An explosive burst of communal energy and raw, sweat-soaked catharsis.

Moments Worth Waiting For
the sudden transition from the melodic bridge to the guttural roar in the title track
the swaggering southern-inflected guitar riff that opens Dirt & Stones
the six-minute slow-burn build of The Well that eventually collapses into a wall of noise
