Fuck, this shit is good. The Fucking Cops are from Ohio and formed from by Jon and Andy from the ashes of their former band, the awesome Vietnam Werewolf. On their EP, You Have The Right To Shut The Fuck Up, the band is gritty and raw but less abrasive and more melodic than Vietnam Werewolf was. It’s pretty fucking great shitty punk rock from a band that I hope lasts a little longer than Vietnam Werewolf did. At their core, The Fucking Cops is a pop-punk band and sounds not totally dissimilar to Latterman in many respects but they also do some pretty gnarly guitar solos, so, yeah. There are a bunch of bands that I think these guys sound a little like, but I’ve had too much tequila tonight to actually put it all together. Just have a listen and let me know what you think. Methinks this is goddamn awesome.
Four of the songs on You Have The Right To Shut The Fuck Up are from the band’s demo, which is available for FREE from the fine folks (which is actually just Dave) over at If You Make It.
