COFFINSHAKERS – we are the undead

Formed in 1995 in Karlstad, Sweden by Rob Coffinshaker, these graveyard country pioneers have been steadily putting out records, most of which have now become highly soughtafter collector items. The Coffinshakers successfully merged the imagery of German expressionist cinema with traditional country sounds of Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash, occasionally flirting with Ennio Morricone -style melodies and the 60´s surf-garage sounds of The Ventures. Topped with full-bodied lyrics and Rob Coffinshaker´s haunting, low register voice, this combination gained them a cult following in the late 90´s and 2000´s, and they even creeped up to the Finnish top 40 with their self-titled album in 2007. * Svart
