Legendary British rock & roll group The Godfathers celebrate the 35th anniversary since their formation with an almighty bang via a brand
new double A side single, ‘I’m Not Your Slave’ & ‘Wild And Free. These recordings are the first to feature the newly revitalised Godfathers’
line-up of founder member & frontman Peter Coyne. guitarists Richie Simpson & Wayne Vermaak, drummer Billy Duncanson & bassist Jon
Priestley. A highly anticipated new studio album will follow in 2021.
The release of ‘I’m Not Your Slave’ & Wild And Free’ represents an exciting new chapter for the London band, but The Godfathers have had
a long & illustrious career. They were formed in 1985 by brothers Peter Coyne (vocals) & Chris Coyne (bass/vocals) from the ashes of their
previous band The Sid Presley Experience. The Godfathers toured extensively & quickly earned a serious reputation for their electrifying brand
of primal rock & roll & their incendiary live shows around the world.
Forming a recording partnership with famed producer Vic Maile they released 4 critically acclaimed, smash hit independent singles on their
own Corporate Image label (‘Lonely Man’, ‘This Damn Nation’, ‘I Want Everything’ & ‘Love Is Dead’) which alongside a brutal cover of
Lennon’s ‘Cold Turkey’ were compiled into their seminal debut album release ‘Hit By Hit’ in ’86 & signed a worldwide deal with Sony/Epic
records in ‘87. The Godfathers unleashed the storming rocker ‘Birth School Work Death’ as a single in ‘87.
