Nashville trio Bad Cop’s debut album isn’t even out yet but it’s been getting RAVE reviews!
Impose Magazine says:
“It’s a soulful, greasy, howlin’ whiteboy kind of rant-rock that’s even greater than the sum of all its crazy parts, a frantic, no-holds-barred, “fuck the rules” kind of album that we desperately need right now… Let’s just say that what we have here is one of the albums of the year, mos def, and leave it at that.”
Harvest the Beast will be out on CD Sep 14 but you can PRE-ORDER THE CD FOR ONLY $9.99.

The band will be going on tour tour this Fall in support of their new record. Tour dates and yet another stellar review, this time from Big Takeover, right after the jump…
Big Takeover says:
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.
