The Copyrights sound like the bastardized product of a first generation band of the pop punk explosion that happened back in the early 90’s and a hell-bent group of kids on a mission to carve their name into the history of punk rock. That’s not to say that they sound like any of those golden-era lookout bands, but rather that they could have been one of those bands with their own sound and their own niche. A lot of the true pop punk sound often falls into a cookie-cutter cut-n-paste format.

These four tunes have enough originality and individuality to keep you guessing. Add that to the big guitars, beefy bass, solid danceable back-beat, backing vocals in all the right places, and Danny Vapid’s little brother on lead vocals and you’ve got the recipe for a classic, top-notch punk rock record. Originality is hard to find in pop punk, but if it’s what you’re looking for, look no further.

It’s Alive Records #9 First Press Clear Orange Vinyl
This record is comprised of all acoustic takes of punk rock songs - one old and one new from each band. It’s not emo. It’s not “sensitive”. It’s not trying to be anything it’s not. It’s about stripping down the rock n roll even further than just four chords, crappy amps and a shitty mic - which is what makes punk rock punk rock. It’s about sitting around with your buddies jamming out some tunes in your basement, bedroom or on your front porch. The Copyrights’ tracks are what writing songs is all about: a couple of acoustic guitars, a basic drum set (just enough to keep a beat) and a couple of voices. Whistling takes the place of what will one day become a guitar lead. Handclaps to fill the space later to be occupied by drum fills and bass lines. Great vocals and solid song structure shine through even more when there‘s less to hide behind. The Zatopeks’ tracks are all about having fun with what you have around. If you don’t have all the fancy amps with effects and distortion or the full drum set, improvise! These guys have incorporated all kinds of shit (including the kitchen sink!) into their songs. If it makes noise, the Zatopeks used it on these recordings. At the heart of it all though is simply great song writing, period.

Like all releases from The Copyrights this one is better than the last. Not many bands can continually improve from release to release - it’s no easy task, especially considering the Copyrights have never put out a record that was anything less than awesome. Whereas their debut album We Didn’t Come Here to Die was pretty much the epitome of a perfect pop punk album, Mutiny Pop is a perfect punk rock album. Pop punk is definitely still rooted deep in the music of The Copyrights, but with Mutiny Pop they have broken the mold and become something different, something new, something more. One of the biggest factors that separates The Copyrights from other pop punk bands is the quality of the song writing. There are three different writers in this band and they each bring their own special something to the album. You’ve got the hometown kid, the undercover lover and the young professional. The three come together to paint a picture about what it’s really like to be a twenty-something working-class anybody coming up and trudging on in the “real world”. Set to the tune of 3 drums, 16 strings, 4 mouths, 4 brains, 3 mics, 12 speakers, 4 tempers and 4 middle fingers, this truly is a perfect album.

The debut album from one of the most astounding bands to come out of the Midwest in quite sometime: loud energetic punk with a definite Chicago influenced power-pop, punk sound from a band that has been dubbed “the current saviors of pop-punk” by fans and critics alike. We Didn’t Come Here to Die is now reissued with hot new artwork. The previous edition sold out by word of mouth alone as the band has garnered a ravenous following of fans snapping up every version of the band’s discography of music. We Didn’t Come Here to Die is a hook-laden, high energy, no frills journey through an array of musical influences. In a time of soulless, rehashed radio punk, The Copyrights deliver a refreshing jolt in the spirit of their storied predecessors in the underground.
