The Cops

Ive been told, at different times, in

different places, that I look like Mike

Birbiglia, which we do have a few things

in common. For example, we share the

same first name. Were both guys who

play to a l ive audience, and though Id bestretching to find many more similarities,

I guess I see where people are coming

from.

Im Michael Jaworski of The Cops. I

provide vocals and guitar for our band,

which enjoys long walks in the rain and

reading in front of a fireplace. Or waitthis isnt a Match.com ad. I actually want to talk a

little about The Cops today, because with all the side projects the guys and I are running

these days theres been too much speculation on our band splitting up.

Listen, weve been together since 04, and were not going anywhere. John (Randolph) is

just starting to do his best guitar worksome super experimental rhythms and leads,

David (52) Weeks has more energy for his drums than ever. Drew (Saintly) Church might

be working on a side project with guys from The Shins, but that doesnt mean he isnt

laying down the finest bass-lines in the business for The Cops. Were a team.

Ill be the first to admit, my work with Virgin Islands has been deeply fulfilling and I

enjoy the challenge of contributing to a vastly different sound than what The Cops create,

but just because I have involved myself in two bands doesnt mean Im losing my loyalty

to my origins. Imagine if you will, devoting all your time to watching only movies with

the same actor or reading only books by the same author, heck, listening to music only by

one band. Youd get bored.

The truth is, we all need variety, and I know many of you

have seen the horrors of lead vocalists going rogue. Think

of Scott Stapp (I hate myself just a little bit for even

writing that name, but the guy fits my illustration like a

glove). Stapp had success with Creed and yet he went off

solo and burned up in a fiery crash of crappy music.

Remember Steve Perry? What about Wyclef Jean?

I guess what Im saying is I know better than to run

around like Im the gift that made The Copsgreat. Were

great because were us. You can see, by my choice to

contribute to another band that its not notoriety and

fame Im out fornot as a solo act. Instead, my fellow

band mates and I have done more like the guys from

Pearl Jam. We have an open door policy. Go experiment with different forms of music.

Form new bands. Best of luck, is the mentality we all have for each other.

As the vocalist for The Cops, I know I need a lot of inspiration to search out the lyrics

that will give our songs philosophical depth. The way I find greater depth that matches

our bands tone is to experiment with other tones. You know, certain topics are perfectly

suited for the heavy driving rock sound The Cops are known for, and thats what I want to

continue to bring to our work.

As were working on our new album, all new

material, I thank our l isteners and fans for

supportive encouragement. As we continue

to tour, its wonderful to see so many faces

in the crowd. We love hearing a chorus of

voices singing along to their favorite songs.

As always, our favorite part of the music is

performing for the audience. So, as the new

music flows in, well be waiting to see our

fans crammed into the venues where we

turn up the volume and jam like theres no

tomorrow.

Heres a more informational facts of The Cops

The Cops are a band of the people; born out of repression, revulsion, frustration and all

the other things that make life so horrible and rock bands so great. Dynamiting the walls

of classic rock and rebuilding on the crumbling foundations, The Cops have constructed a

set filled with scratching, twitching, aching, unholy rock music that still manages to be

both familiar and crucially entertaining. Topical without being political and political

without being preachy. The Cops have written albums that are full of roughhousing

manifestos broadcast from roughly 5.3 meters below the sidewalk of every major street

in the world. No fuss, no muss, no stupid hippie haircuts. No shit.

The Cops formed in July of 2004 with Michael Jaworski on lead vocals and guitar, John

Randolph on guitar, David Weeks on drums, and Brian Wall on bass guitar. Seattle indie

label Mt. Fuji Records released their debut EP Why Kids Go Wrong in March of 2005,

and the bands debut full-length Get Good or Stay Bad in November of 2005. Drew

Church replaced Brian Wall on bass in early 2006 and the newly christened line-up went

on to release their critically acclaimed sophomore full-length Free Electricity in

November of 2007 (Mt. Fuji Records / Control Group Co.). Free Electricity was recorded

with the bands spiritual godfather Kurt Bloch (The Fastbacks, Young Fresh Fellows) and

mixed by the multi-talented producer Johnny Sangster (Mudhoney, Old Haunts, The

Some people have been talking about The Cops:

On Free Electricity, the Cops staccato stop-and-go six-string rhythms couple with

abusive drumming to create a surprisingly danceable set. Mega Suicide and Secret

Lives pummel like guitar-fueled bulldozers, though they serve as exceptions to the

dance-rock rule. Its Epidemic opens the album with a frantic mess of jutting guitars,

while the sparse but insanely catchy Light It Off evokes images of a beefed-up Spoon.

Islands sounds like better amplified !!!, while Modern Black Flats compares to Wire

and Gang of Four 45s played at 33 1/3 RPM. Its the organ-drenched blast Cold Crushin

that steals the disc, mimicking a scream-less Blood Brothers to rump-shaking effect. -

SPIN.com

On the scale of bands with boot-licking law-enforcement names, the Cops rock much

harder than, say, reunited corporate whiners the Police and more tunefully than

torturously arty noisemakers Cop Shoot Cop. The Seattle quintet kick it out with plenty

of punky energy and driving guitars on their 2005 CD, Get Good or Stay Bad (Mt. Fuji

Records), with Michael Jaworskis raggedy singing coming together with John Randolphs

backup vocals for rousing shout-along choruses on Negative Cutting and We Are the

Occupants. Theres a Brit-punk kind of squalor and swagger on tracks like Dont Take It

Personal Dave, and the Cops finish things off with a properly seedy version of Wires

Lowdown. As with Stay Bad, the Cops upcoming CD, Free Electricity (due in early

November), was recorded with the Fastbacks Kurt Bloch, who keeps it all dirty rather

than gussying up everything with too much polish. Theyve since added a new member,

Brandon Bay, giving them three guitarists to trade off with bassist Drew Church on the

jagged, stop-start riffage of the upcoming albums Its Epidemic. -LA Weekly

When first seen in concert, the Cops lead singer Michael Jaworski somehow reminds me

of better-known musical frontman Britt Daniels. It might be the way they dress, or their

stiff-backed, onstage persona, but there is a definite air of similarity between the two

forces of evil in power here at home and some of the societal woes that continue to

plague the common man. With Get Good or Stay Bad, dissent and rebellion have never

sounded so good. -MXDWN

Passionate and excitingThis is a well-realized punk revival effort that attempts to

capture the meaning, in addition to simplify the musical form, of their influences. -30

Music

Fuck. Finally. A band that gets the influences of 77 and make it their own. The Cops

show how to take those dusty ole albums from the 70s and run them through a time

machine making their urgent cries of Wake the fuck upits 2006 as their immortal

loot and grab of the best riffs that rocknroll has to offer from the pasty thirty years run

through their songs. Essential. -Poptones
