About Me

Video For Watch This
Drawing influence from all things Rock, London based 'Cooper Brown' have stacked up a hefty arsenal of kick-ass power pop tunes. Courtesy of Billy's often "shredded wheat without the milk" voice, the catchy vocal hooks which penetrate the raw distortion are an instantly recognisable feature of this energetic 3-piece.
Sticking to the formula of screaming pop vocals backed with classic twisted-pop and hard-rock riffs in the traditions of China Drum, Nirvana & Green Day, Cooper Brown get the following reviews ...
"They sure ain't firing blanks on their eponymous album ... all vibed and pumping with power and melody exploding all over the gaff" - KERRANG.com
"Amazing really amazing ... like watching the Jam when they first hit the scene" - BURBs
"Cooper Brown played a blazing set of punk-inspired rock. Punk like Dinosaur Jr, rather than NoFX, which made it all the more interesting" - CollectiveZine
"Tunes that were abrupt, intense and forceful. Coopersound tore through the shabby basement like a wrecking ball." - MusicOMH.com
