John Coffey is a Dutch indie rock/post-hardcoreband from Utrecht, The Netherlands.

John Coffey's music is surprising in both its silence as in its adrenaline, musically aggresive and beautiful in its sweet sounds. Songs use easy, atmospheric lows, to build up to pounding highs which are poured out over the unsuspected listener. Or as Dutch national press mentioned about a john coffey release: "'White Like The New Sky' is without a doubt one of the most beautiful independent productions I have ever seen."

The band takes the energy of a band such as Refused, MewithoutYou, the atmosphere of British heavy rockers Oceansize and puts it in a fresh and surprising mix. Second EP "White Like The New Sky" got unanimous positive responses from Dutch magazines like FRET, LiveXS and 3voor12. The track "This View is Breathtaking" got repeated airplay on national radiostation KinkFM and the video was well received by the press. Furthermore, Dutch popmagazine 3voor12 chose the band to be "Hollandse Nieuwe", the title for new and upcoming talents. Now the band is preparing to record its first full length album in November 2008 at the renowned Mailmen Studios (a.o. Face Tomorrow, the Spirit That Guides Us).

John Coffey has gained a lot of live experience on the Dutch stages, and also by playing with (inter-)national bands like Blindside, The Chariot and The Juliana Theory. Internationally, the band toured in France, the Czech Republic, Poland and Germany and played renowned festivals such as Freakstock Germany, Slot-Art Poland and Flevo Festival The Netherlands.

In 2007 the band released "Spring", a EP with two tracks which were released on their MySpaceand are downloadable for free. In November 2007 the band recorded a cover of Dead Kennedys' "Holiday in Cambodia" for the Coverclub album "Never Mind Punk 1977, Here's the Coverclub".
