Coma Beach are a punk rock/alternative rock band from Würzburg in Germany and were formed in 1993 by singer B. Kafka, guitarist Captain A. Fear and drummer M. Lecter, with bassist U. Terror and rhythm guitarist M. Blunt completing the line-up.

Their musical influences range from The Sex Pistols, The Ramones, Hüsker Dü, Joy Division, The Cure, The Jesus and Mary Chain to Guns N’ Roses, Therapy? and Bad Religion and they are not afraid to wear these influence on their sleeves.

I previously reviewed the band’s album, The Scapegoat’s Agony, and was eager to hear more from this great band. Jesus’ Tears was released on 16/06/2021 and although is only a track from just two years ago, it has a sound that could have been released anywhere in the last forty!

With funky basslines to open the track, these remain prevalent throughout the entire track and are a great combination with the heavy, punk guitar work. The riffs are fast, as all good punk riffs should be, and the drumming is frenetic and energetic.

The vocals are typical punk vocals, with shouty backups but there is also an edginess to the vocals that makes this more than just a punk song, and this shows the diversity of the singer and the band as a whole.

This track is raw and in your face and is a great way to be introduced to the band if you haven’t heard them before. It portrays their sound perfectly and leaves the listener under no illusions as to what this band is about.

Punk fans, old and new alike, should love this song so I recommend you all head on over to Spotify to check this track, the band and anything else they have produced out. You certainly will not be disappointed.
