History
Matt Coffee an American musician and artist, is the lead singer and guitarist for Minneapolis rock band Death to Our Enemies. Born June 20th, 1979 in New York City, Coffee moved to the midwest in the early 90s. Playing guitar in punk and grunge bands, Coffee cut his teeth in the underground noise-punk scene before moving to Minneapolis in 1999. After taking a few years off performance to focus on songwriting, Matt and friends Chuck Terhark and Ken Tyborski started writing rock songs together in their basements heavily influenced by bands like Black Sabbath, The Melvins, Sonic Youth, and Led Zeppelin. In 2003 the band started performing live at venues such as the 7th Street Entry and Triple Rock Social Club. Later he recorded a demo and released a two song 7-inch record. In 2005 Death to Our Enemies opened at First Avenue for the Midnight Evils and later opened for Low. In 2006 Coffee recorded the debut self-titled Death to Our Enemies full-length album with producer Jacques Wait witch was later released on Learning Curve Records in 2007.
Currently Coffee tours and records actively with the band, living in North East Minneapolis and working as a Multimedia Designer.
