Bio
COMA_54 are a Berlin-based three-piece band, originally hailing from Cork, Ireland.
Their music is a collision of Desert Rock, Grunge and Shoegaze, forming a sonic structure that is familiar, yet totally fresh. Influenced by a wide range of bands like Kyuss, Therapy?, My Bloody Valentine, Far From Alaska and Cleopatrick, the band revels in creating seriously heavy music that is accessible to all. Their blend of fuzzed-out guitar lines, a pummeling rhythm section and sugar-sweet, multi-layered vocal melodies, adds up to a massive sound, far greater than the sum of its parts.
COMA_54 have already made a splash on the live music scene in Germany, headlining festivals in Schwerin, Munich and Berlin. Recent performances in Berlin’s Cassiopeia club have seen them grow a reputation of being one of the best live bands on the scene. With several more dates in the book, they will look to further this reputation very soon.

‘Flow’, which followed on May 31st, 2024, sees the band lean into their more indie influences. The bassline pushes the song forward throughout, intertwining with the lush guitar and vocal harmonies, culminating in yet another chorus hook designed to do just that; hook the listener, and draw them well and truly into the Flow. The track received some very positive press feedback, and was featured on both the Apple Music Breaking Hard Rock and Amazon Music Fresh Rock editorial playlists.

‘Maybe [Flow is] a new genre in itself… What about Grungegaze?’ indierepublik.com
‘Rapture’, released on April 26th, 2024 on Berlin imprint Orian Musik Label, is the first product of these underground sessions. Searing guitar riffs and an unflinching rhythm section underpin deceptively catchy vocal melodies. This one is going to get in your head, and stay there.

Crafted in Berlin, recorded in Poland, mixed in LA, released on 24th April, 2026, ‘Poison’ is the opening single from COMA_54’s hotly anticipated debut LP, ‘Into the Noise’.
‘Poison’ bursts from the speakers, a searing glimpse into the band’s latest sound. Thundering beats and basslines, and killer guitar hooks provide the foundation for layered vocal melodies that will stick with you for days. The song signals a fresh lyrical focus, a stark reflection on today’s dark world.
Building on their 2024 EP ‘PunktEins’, ‘Poison’ introduces an exciting new period for the band. COMA_54 aim to push the boundaries in 2026. Their live shows are already causing a stir, now they are ready to back those up with their first full length record. Watch this space.

‘Raucous rock with substance… a powerful metaphor for coercion, societal pressure, and the exhaustion of performative wellness culture’ rock-fueguino.com.ar
‘A sound that blends 90s Grunge grit with modern alternative punch… a tense reflection on manipulation and emotional toxicity’ expansionradial.mx
‘Punkt Eins’ is the lead track on the band’s debut EP, released on October 11th, 2024. This track showcases a darker, more aggressive sound, more in line with the band’s burgeoning live performances. A snarling bass riff, repeated relentlessly throughout the song, sets the tone for the punk-inspired beats and group vocals. Perhaps an indication of the future direction of the band, this track is dark, dirty, and hopelessly catchy all at once.
