2002 saw the rock solid line up of Caffeine, once described by Kerrang as Britain’s answer to Green Day, the London based 3 piece delivered there powerful skate punk rock at a furious rate up and down the UK. The boys headed into the studio in 2004 to record Lying Honestly. Here they recorded such songs as 'Shut My Eyes' and 'The Lights Go Down', songs that would catapult them into the U.S College radio scene for weeks on end. After umpteen tours of the UK both supporting and headlining, Caffeine headed off to the States in 2004 to rock the college scene along the east coast and playing New York’s CBGB’S. They retuned another 4 times in 2005/6 for more shows including playing 'The Bamboozle' Festival in New Jersey alongside rock giants My Chemical Romance, Alkaline Trio and 30 Seconds to Mars. March 2006 saw the release of ‘Symphony,’ produced by Andy Hawkins (The Wildhearts, Pigeon Detectives, Motion City Soundtrack) released on their own label Caffeine Records. A feast of crushing riffs, electronic dynamics and super infectious melodies, Symhony was undoubtedly the best kept secret in the world of rock. Caffeine looked set to finally break into the consciousness of the mainstream with the release of their best work to date. While being totally ignored in the UK by the British music press, Total Rock were not missing a beat and regular played Caffeine over their air waves. Later that year Symphony was to be picked up by Radtone Records in Japan and a full Japanese release hit the stores along with a massive store promotion. From super infectious vocal melodies over steroid driven guitars to anthemic shout it out chorus hooks, Symphony had the lot.

Caffeine headed off again for tours of the UK and U.S.A in 2006 onwards, highlights including storming the Bamboozle Festival in New Jersey again, playing the 2006 KISS New York Expo along with legendary KISS axe man Bruce Kulick and punching a hole in L.A’s west coast festival Bamboozle Left. Caffeine had been knocking on the door of success for years until their knuckles were bleeding and decided to leave the party early with no real farewell….

Until now… Caffeine are back together for one night only at Islington academy 2 Oct 12th 2012 along with UK ska punk legends 4ft Fingers, who also return for their 10th anniversary tour. To celebrate Caffeine are releasing ‘The Best of Caffeine’, hitting iTunes in Oct. This includes a remixed song from the Caffeine vault ‘ Shadows’,  a whirl pool of swirling spaced out emotion which only Caffeine can deliver. For one night only….Dismiss Caffeine at your peril
