COIN Officially Disbanded Due To Conflict Between Personnel

JAKARTA - The pop-rock band from Nashville, COIN, has officially disbanded. Through an announcement on the band's official Instagram account on Tuesday, January 28, Chase Lawrence (main vocal, synthesizer) announced that the group's journey, which has been running since 2012, has ended.

In a statement made, Lawrence mentions how the conflict is in COIN. After Ryan Winnen (drums) came out a few months ago, he had to decide to separate from Joe Memmel (guitar, vocals)

"I recently realized the disclosure of my group mate and wanted to share some direct thoughts with all of you," Lawrence said in a statement.

I believe in accountability and do what is right. Three months ago, I made the decision to move forward without my drummer. And yesterday, I separated from my guitarist.

Lawrence clearly said the two colleagues were against the values they adhered to. Therefore, the dissolution of COIN is unavoidable.

Their behavior directly goes against my values, and I am deeply saddened by anyone who has been affected by this action. Creating space for love and joy through music has always been my mission. Finding that this space has been compromised by the actions of others is truly heartbreaking," said the vocalist.

"Unfortunately, this development has led me to the decision that COIN can no longer be continued as a band."

Lawrence also apologized to fans who were disappointed by the disbandment of COIN. However, he made sure to continue to make music.

"To our listeners, I apologize for the disappointment it might cause. Your support means a lot to me, and I owe it to you to be honest and firm in dealing with this situation," he said.

"The refund of money for the upcoming tour is available at the point of purchase. There are many things to think about in the future, but I know I haven't finished making music yet," he added.

For information, COIN has released six album studios, including COIN (2015), How Will You Know If You Never Try (2017), Dareamland (2020), Rainbow Mixtape (2021), Uncanny Valley (2022), and I Not Afraid Of Music Anymore (2024).
