Bio
With the release of their latest single “Say It’s Over,” Maria and the Coins are ushering in their next era of indie pop-rock while retaining the lyrical integrity, powerhouse vocals, and early 2000s-inspired style that define their sound. The Minneapolis-based fivesome’s catalog consists of big-picture pop anthems, soulful ballads, and driving- with-the-windows-down-belt-your-heart-out bangers. From finding and losing love to struggles with mental health to searching for joy in the little corners of the universe— one idea remains a constant through it all: encouraging listeners to keep moving forward.
Maria and the Coins have opened for Christina Perri, Papa Roach, Jukebox the Ghost, Betty Who, JP Saxe, and Haley Reinhart. Their music has received airplay on NPR’s The Current, KFAI, and many stations in the midwest, with the lead single “Movin’ On” gaining traction on playlists all over the world. Other notable releases include their album Forward and their 2024 mental health anthem “Something Good,” which will be featured in the upcoming film “interiorem pueri” next spring.
The fivesome is currently working on new music and touring in the US. For more, visit www.mariaandthecoins.com.

Review: “Call Me When You Get There” [May 2025]
“Maria and the Coins has returned with a new single, “Call Me When You Get There,” a delicate, heartfelt track that features deeply emotional lyrics and songwriting. The band knows how to pair silky vocals with piano and guitar arrangements, evoking a rich and cinematic story about the pain of loss and reconciliation in relationships.”

“The Mojo of Music featuring Maria and the Coins” [May 2025]
“Maria and the Coins set at the Icehouse felt like a masterclass in song arrangement. From the opening song “Say It’s Over,” easing the audience into their music, to “Hell of a Ride,” which sparked a huge cheer and injection of energy. “Into the Wild” continues to be that song that always delivers when heard live. It checks all the boxes for being catchy, driving, finely produced, and a cohesive shining spotlight for the band. Looking up on stage and seeing the subtle blend of blue colors on each band member, it signified the importance of longevity.” - Tom Smouse

“Something Good” Song Review [August 2024]
“Something Good” feels like an ending credits song to a heartfelt coming of age movie from the early 2000s; that’s a great era to bring to mind. It features mischievous pop-punk riffs on each verse and lively, attention-grabbing choruses which spring into action after sneakily building. Power-pop vocals declare their impatience with mediocracy - “We could go for a ride / We could wait our whole damn lives / But I want something, / I want something / Something good.”

Show Review: Live at First Avenue & 7th St Entry [July 2024]
“Powerful pop vocals backed by an engaged, musically close knit band brought so much energy to an already energized crowd. Even when Maria speaks and sings about tough things like depression and anxiety, the overriding vibe of this band is joy. I myself have been struggling with a lot of mental...stuff lately, but on the way home I found myself slowing down and taking in the people and plants and air and sounds and smells around me with renewed appreciation. I think Maria & the Coins can take a good bit of credit for that, reminding me how damn good life can really be.”

'I Was Her' Review [June 2021]
"This song is a flat out masterpiece. Every element, from the expert playing from the band to the clean mix is well done, and the song lacks in no category. With a heartfelt vocal performance and amazing production, “I Was Her” by Maria and the Coins is an outstanding achievement in songwriting." - Bryon Harris

'Forward' Album Review [March 2020]
"...After being diagnosed with Lupus in her freshman year of college, Coyne was faced with intense physical and emotional struggles. The resolve she gladly found within is freely represented all across 'Forward.' From the first moments of album opener "Two Years From Now" through to the sugary closer "Tonight," Coyne and co. command attention with her exceptional vocals and the band's stellar, propulsive instrumentation. The ten tracks sustain momentum for the album's whole 41-minute duration."
