John Coffey release new music video for ‘Not Alone’

JOHN COFFEY have released a new music video!

The Dutch hardcore punk outfit have unveiled Not Alone, the title track from their upcoming new album, which is scheduled for release on October 9th via Long Branch Records.

The new track follows the previously released singles Hang The Choir and It’s You, and arrives as the band prepare to release their first new album of original material since returning from hiatus. Not Alone was inspired by the loss of Niels van den Ham, a father of three who the band met following their famous viral beer catch moment.

Speaking about the song, the band shares, “two years ago, when we had just started writing what would become our new album, we learned that Niels van den Ham had taken his own life. Niels was a father of three. We got to meet Niels through a moment that went viral years ago. After his death, people close to Niels reached out to us. They told us about the struggles he had been carrying, much of which seemed to remain hidden behind his big smile. We kept thinking about that.

About how heavy life can become when you’re carrying something alone. How exhausting it can be to fight the same battle inside your own head, over and over again. How scary it can feel when you start believing that this is forever. That nothing will change. That you are the only one who feels this way. We wrote Not Alone as a reminder that thoughts are not permanent. That speaking up can matter. To a friend. To family. To a stranger. To anyone. Because connection matters.

It’s why the loud-music scene has always meant so much to us. You step into a room full of strangers. Then someone falls, and the people around them pick them up. Someone jumps from a stage, trusting dozens of hands to catch them. Bodies crash into each other, people scream the same words, and for a moment, a room full of strangers carries each other. That feeling is real. This song is for Niels and for everyone carrying weight on their shoulders: You’re not alone.”
