C.O.P.- Ripperside 7"

Review:

his debut release from Riverside's C.O.P. (Citizens On Patrol) features 8 hardcore skate-punk tracks, and when I say hardcore, I mean 1982 hardcore, nothing involving karate kicks and circulation-hindering jeans.If I had to pigeonhole the band's sound, I'd say it's almost a cross between early JFA and Stalag 13. Ripperside nearly captures the band's live intensity on vinyl. This band is a must-see live. There aren't many around today who shove as much energy into their sets as C.O.P. Standout tracks include Ripperside/C.O.P., Hitchhikers and No Secrets. Agressive, raw, real. This is punk rock. (Punkrockers.com)
