COP PROBLEM: Philly Politi-Punk Unit Announce Debut EP


Welcome COP PROBLEM, an energetic act born within the politically-motivated bustling underbelly of Philadelphia's punk/hardcore scene, and ready to bust loose onto the rest of the planet with their debut EP.

With a high-energy D-beat-infused punk rock delivery littered with rampant blasting hardcore/crust rage, COP PROBLEM have raided Philly live venues on DIY gigs as well as supporting national acts including ConvergeTrap ThemDropdeadCoke BustResistant CultureLeftover Crack and countless more since their mid-2010 inception.

COP PROBLEM have just confirmed the completion of their self-titled debut 7", now set for split release between Prejudice Me Records in Europe and War Torn Records for North America. The riotous three-song EP was recorded by Will Yip (Blacklisted, Converge, Paint It Black, Lauryn Hill) at Studio 4, and showcases the bands versatile, swift and devastating delivery. The cover art for the EP was commissioned to world-renowned artist/tattoo artist Jason Angst.

The opening track from the EP, "Monuments," has been delivered to the masses via a stream now live over at Crustcake, RIGHT HERE.

Preorders for the 7" are available now via War TornPrejudice Me, and the band direct.
