Counting Coins formed in Hull in 2009 through a mutual love for bands like Operation Ivy, Capdown, Voodoo Glowskulls, The Clash, and Rage Against The Machine. They quickly made an impression on the local scene with their raucous live shows; a reputation that has secured support slots with Reverend and the Makers, Melt Banana, Chase Long Beach and Random Hand to name a few. 

"I like Take The Ride especially which pays more than passing homage to the angry, politicised Ska, Punk and New Wave of the late 70's - energetic, ferocious and fizzing with unpredictability. I love it!" (Katy Noone - Producer - BBC Introducing)

Describing their sound as ska-punk gypsy hiphop, Counting Coins have recently released a free download single "What Gives You The Right" with accompanying video and are hoping to record a full album soon, as well as continuing to perform live up and down the country.

"Counting Coins are the most refreshing band I’ve seen for years with the most amazing energy"
(Pat Pretorius - booking agent and session musician - Neville Staples/Bad Manners/The Beat)
