Tāmaki Makaurau’s own rising band Coppelia are back with their latest single, ‘Skitzo,’ releasing Friday, October 17th. A chaotic, riff-driven anthem capturing the feeling of high-energy euphoria.
Following their back-to-back debut singles ‘Forget It’ and ‘Manasoul’, ‘Skitzo’ sees the five-man band stepping into darker, grittier territory. The track is a short glimpse into the feeling of chaos, built on huge drums, raw guitar, and a chorus made to be screamed on a festival stage.
Since emerging from the backyard gig scene in Tāmaki Makaurau, Coppelia has built a reputation for high-energy performances, unmatched passion and emotionally charged songwriting. Their debut headline show at Double Whammy Bar cemented their place among New Zealand’s next wave of bands.
The band will cap off 2025 with a festival debut at Matakanarama Festival this New Year’s Eve – a monumental performance showcasing their biggest and boldest sound yet.
Fans can stream ‘Skitzo’ on all major platforms from Friday, October 17th, and can follow @coppeliaband on Instagram and Facebook for more announcements.
Keep Coppelia on your radar (and playlists) this summer as with this amount of passion for music, the best is yet to come!
