Harvest The Beast

Editor's info:
Lusty and lethal, Bad Cop comes at you like a drunken frat boy who won't take no for an answer. The difference is that you'll be sending them a thank you letter the next day.

Adam Moult (vocals), Alex Hartness (guitar) & Kharl Merkley (drums) have built a guttural wall of sound that penetrates in a way that could only have been born in the dirty south. They play it hard and tight, and they might be young but they're experienced, these four kids from Nashville are all under 21 but have played in bands since they were twelve and spent a lifetime listening to bands like Joy Division, The Doors and MC5. In the little over a year they've been together, they've already played with larger acts like Jemina Pearl (ex-Be Your Own Pet), The Slits and JEFF The Brotherhood, have already traveled the East Coast twice over and ventured into the Midwest and have been nominated The Deli Magazine's Band of the Month in Nashville.

Bad Cop's experience doesn't end at their musical accomplishments, behind their feisty brand of psychedelic punk lies a hearty tale of love, self-destruction, sex and despair. Bad Cop seduce you with their brutal honesty and their unflinching willingness to speak the truth, no matter how dangerous it may be. You can hear, see and feel Bad Cop accost you with veracity and sense of carnal danger live, frontman Adam Moult mixes the intensity of Darby Crash with the primitive sexuality of Jim Morrison.

Both onstage and through your speakers, Bad Cop cannot be ignored. They just don't fuck around.

IMPOSE MAGAZINE says:
This wigged-out, cleverly-named Nashville trio must have been on some kind of collective bender when they recorded this zinger of an album, because they got some kind of "lightning in a bottle" shit going on here the likes of which you don't roll into all that often. 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.

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.
