Bad Cop‘s new video for “I’m In Lust With You” (taken off their debut album Harvest the Beast) premiered today on PopMatters:
Also up on PopMatters is a demo version of a new song “Wet Lips”, originally debut on Subba Cultcha. The final version of this song will be available on a 7″ released this summer… and guess who will be releasing the 7″? That’s right.* Don’t turn the dial!
Culture Bully says:
“Wet Lips” is sloppy, slightly spacey and fully raging, but from the sound of things the demo doesn’t compare to the version of the track which will be released on the 7″.

“Harvest The Beast” is the debut album from Nashville’s Bad Cop. It’s uncompromising. It’s unique. It’s fresh and it will rock your ass off and it’s out now on CD!
 |
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.” |
Watch it at PopMatters.
Download it at eMusic.
eMusic says:
Hailing from Nashville, Bad Cop are a young band associated with the likes of Jemina Pearl/Be Your Own Pet and JEFF The Brotherhood. Their sprawling debut LP, Harvest The Beast, is full of dirty blues riffs, lively chants and usually-hazy vocals, and at times they channel the likes of the Strokes or the Arctic Monkeys… They might be young, but when frontman Adam Moult sings, “I don’t know if I’ll live tomorrow/ It’s quite a rush to live this way” in album opener “Amores Perros,” it sounds like they’re having a good enough time that getting old is the least of their concerns.

Tattoos & rum are two things that many of us here are personally fond of. So that’s why we’re stoked the masters of both, Sailor Jerry, are fond of us too. By us, I mean Bad Cop’s new album, but close enough?
What makes this debut such a keeper? Well, it’s a bit hard to put my finger on, as is the band’s music. Songs alternate between dept store guitar-drenched, moody, post-punk snippets and balls-out, 70’s rock n’ roll riffs. It’s these interesting juxtapositions of seemingly incompatible styles and techniques that lift this record out of the genre dumpster and place it up on the repeated listens shelf.
Read the rest of the review here
Catch Bad Cop tonight at Kung Fu Necktie in Philadelphia, PA with Thomas Function and Moon Women (a member of which we hear is a Sailor Jerry blogger). We’re stoked that they’re finally coming to NYC tomorrow (at Lit Lounge)!

Bad Cop’s debut album “Harvest the Beast” will be out on CD on Sept. 14, but you can pre-order it here for a low-low price of only $9.99 (reg. $13).
Dudes, you gotta check this album…. Impose says “it’s one of the albums of the year, mos def” and dig what Corazine had to say:
“Harvest the Beast” pulls off a mesmerizing balancing act. Bad Cop manages to be loud and heavy and ear-crashing while still being bright and poppy. Bad Cop is psychedelic. Bad Cop has the energy of punk in the vehicle of garage rock… Boisterous and punchy but pretty yet heavy but speaker-blowing yet powered by pop but trippy yet raw and direct and with the energy of metal but not the sound, more punkish … going in circles …. ARGH! You get the point. Bad Cop’s Harvest the Beast is a brilliant slab of noise pop garage psyche delirium!!!!!!!!!”
