Our new video “Maniac” premiers on PopMatters!June 23, 2011

Our new video for our unreleased song “Maniac” premiered on PopMatters this week! Directed by Seth Graves, the video is about “living in the South, where the people who are supposed to be watching out for you are often out to get you.”

Here’s a little summary from Nashville Scene:

So there’s a judge, and a jail cell, and guns, and a scantily clad local “It girl” getting senselessly popped in the dome. Most importantly, of course, there is music. Rock ‘n’ roll music of a garage-y, Stooges-y ilk, to be precise. Get the popcorn ready — but prepare to either eat your popcorn hastily or not pop very much, as this one clocks in at just over two minutes. Enjoy!

In other news, we’re playing tomorrow at Tidball’s in Bowling Green, KY. Check it out on Facebook.

Review in Big TakeoverAugust 17, 2010

Another rad review in Big Takeover Magazine…

As the Prophet said, “One good thing about music, when it hits you feel no pain..”. Nashville, Tennessee band Bad Cop ’s auspicious debut on the legendary ROIR label is an inoculating shot in the arm that acts as a sort of psychic painkiller. It’s an elevating, honest and transcendent album.. as well as being a masterpiece of raw rock ‘n roll psychedelia packed with ear-worm riffs and giant beaming breakdowns. You can hear the slew of rad influences shining like gems in Harvest The Beast.. a Stones chord here on “Daylight”, explosively charging Who-worthy drums there on “Tonight Only”, unsettling and gut wrenching vocals that carry a hint of Joy Division on “Time After Time”. All the references sit like musical one-inch pins hung on the badass leather jacket of Bad Cop’s pure musical ability and earnest intensity.
