Cops
First Offense
Following a recent confession given under duress, Artificial Head Records is hereby legally obliged to inform you that this February will see the official release of First Offense, the debut album from Houston-based protectors of punk rock and inhuman decency, The COPS. Formed in the fall of 2016 by members of Houston's thriving punk rock scene, straight off the night stick it's worth observing that not only do The COPS dress like police officers when performing live, they actually sing about the system. As tracks like 'Homicide' channel the speed freak punk guitar play of The Briefs and Electric Frankenstein and 'Life On The Beat' proving to be a mean municipal anthem in-waiting, that sits perversely amidst a throng of Minor Threat, Hot Snakes and Pissed Jeans loving reprobates. Freeing their tongues from their collective cheeks to knock out some of the catchiest jams you're likely to hear from anyone/anywhere, having opening shows for the likes of Dead Kennedys, JFA, NOBUNNY and Reagan Youth.
