Coxey’s Army is more than a band—it’s a movement for the underdog. Hailing from Central Ohio, they merge the defiant spirit of punk rock with the storytelling of folk and the raw energy of Celtic tradition. Their songs tell tales of hard work, struggle, and resilience, echoing the voices of those often unheard. Drawing influence from bands like Street Dogs, early Dropkick Murphys, and Cock Sparrer, their sound is both a battle cry and a celebration of perseverance.

In a short time, Coxey’s Army has built serious momentum, sharing the stage with punk heavyweights such as Sloppy Seconds, Escape From The Zoo, The Dreadnaughts, The Casualties, Antagonizers ATL, and The Rumjacks. The band has been featured on PromoWest’s Discover Weekly, named a Top Central Ohio Band to Watch (2023) by TunedUp, and receives regular airplay on WTJN Troy. Their growing national profile was further cemented with a feature on The Punk Rock Museum’s New Music Friday playlist.

Known for their high-energy performances and authentic connection with the crowd, Coxey’s Army has become a trusted support act when national tours roll through Columbus and Dayton. Their seasoned live presence and commanding stage energy consistently elevate lineups, making them a reliable choice for promoters and venues looking to ignite a room from the first chord.

Their debut album, Stand Together. Keep the Faith., is a raw, working-class statement fueled by infectious melodies, driving rhythms, and an unshakable message of unity. The record has earned strong critical praise, including a 4-star Echo Scale™ review from Echo Rebel, which called it “a blood, sweat, and tears folk-punk labour of love,” and went on to say: “Coxey’s Army’s character and storytelling ability are truly top-tier… one of the most authentic and infectious punk debuts of the year. This is the soundtrack for good friends, cheap whiskey, and a hell of a singalong.” Additional acclaim came from The Metal Resource and Out of the Blue Magazine.

Beyond press, the album and band have gained international traction, receiving radio airplay on Radio One 91FM (New Zealand) and being featured on Radio Punk (Italy)’s Best of October 2025. Coxey’s Army has also been highlighted on Blackmarket Playlists’ New Punk From the Midwest playlist and featured in the Dayton Daily News on October 5, 2025. Whether in the studio or on stage, Coxey’s Army delivers anthems that demand fists in the air and voices raised together.
