Coming this fall on fox: "Dog Dad"

Ok, so two things to ramble on about.

First, our friends in Maus have put some songs up from their upcoming demo. This band absolutely kills it. Hear for yourself here and then go see them at this show. The show is absolutely free and a bunch of great local Edmonton bands are breaking up after this show. Definitely worth your while and the price is right.

Second, we're playing a show with Begrime Exemious and Hominid on June 19th. Here is the poster. This show is going to be ridiculously heavy. Come check it out!



That is all for now.

Matt IS the tetris master

So, i've been really lazy with updating this thing.

Last night, we played a show with Goose that most of the bands dropped off, but it was so much fun. A room with good people, two bands facing each other taking turns playing, it was a blast. The result of this Cope/Goose show is a Goose/Cope 7" split to be released on xTRUEx eventually. We're still working on the collab, but i'm sure we can get two or so songs together to make this happen. So, look out for that and look out for the Goose demo, which to my understanding is near complete. Those dudes are way too good!

Nate at xTRUEx has informed us that the test press versions of the 10" are to be expected within the week (hopefully). So, expect those to be available by mid to end of June.

Not really related to Cope, but i've been jamming with a new doom band called Cygnus featuring Derek (Begrime Exemious) and Gary Orthner (Hominid). People who like doom metal as the likes of Goatsnake, Electric Wizard, and St. Vitus would probably really dig this. Its loud and its groovy. Hopefully Cygnus will be able to play some shows by the end of June, beginning of July. I'll post updates about that band on here too.

That's all i can really think of right now.
