    History

    The Cops formed in July 2004 with Michael Jaworski on lead vocals and guitar, John Randolph on guitar and David Weeks on drums. Seattle label Mt. Fuji Records released both their debut EP Why Kids Go Wrong in March 2005, and the critically acclaimed full-length Get Good or Stay Bad in November 2005. Former Supersuckers and Hater bassist, Drew Church, replaced Brian Wall on bass in early 2006, just in time for a tour supporting Cursive and Jeremy Enigk. Following the recording of their second full-length Free Electricity, guitarist Brandon Bay was added to the mix to make The Cops a full-fledged 5-piece rock band.

    The band self-recorded and produced their debut EP "Why Kids Go Wrong" which was released by Mt. Fuji Records in March 2005. The next two full-length albums were recorded with the band’s spiritual godfather Kurt Bloch (The Fastbacks, Young Fresh Fellows). The Cops debut record "Get Good or Stay Bad" was released by Mt. Fuji Records in November 2005 and their sophomore effort "Free Electricity" was co-released by Mt. Fuji Records and The Control Group labels in November 2007. "Free Electricity" was also mixed by the multi-talented producer Johnny Sangster (Mudhoney, Old Haunts, The Briefs). The Cops went on hiatus at the end of 2008 but have since reunited are currently working on new material for their next recording. Since The Cops hiatus, singer/guitarist Michael Jaworski has gone on to form the rock band Virgin Islands. Drew Church and Dave Weeks are currently playing in the punk outfit, Little Cuts, with Dave Hernandez of The Shins. Church and Jaworski are also playing in a side project called Puberty, which features Lars Finnberg from the Intelligence, also with Dave Hernandez.

    The Cops (TV series)

    The Cops is a British television series made by World Productions for the BBC.

    The production, set in the fictional town of Stanton in Northern England, was noted for its documentary-style camerawork and uncompromising portrayal of the police force. The first series was so controversial in its depiction of the police force that official police advice was withdrawn for the second series.

    Three series were made between 1998 and 2000. The programme won back-to-back British Academy Television Awards (BAFTAs) in the Best Drama Series category in 1999 and 2000, and was nominated for a third time in 2001 (losing out to Clocking Off), despite the first series hemorrhaging more than 3.2 million viewers during its run, with viewing figures dropping from 6.03m to 2.82m.

    The Cops

    by: Front Bottoms

    the end of the world makes me nervous
    'cause i, for one, have not found god yet.
    or someone to fall in love with
    rob a bank, shoot a cop with.
    i watched this girl being choked
    by a man she hardly knows
    in a room full of strangers
    that probably don't know her name.
    the first time i had sex it was a stranger in a
    bathroom.
    my friends were right, and since that day it felt the
    same.
    i want to go back
    to when i laughed
    at things i thought were funny.
    i like running when it's dark out
    and the people in the cars drive fast
    'cause they wanna get home.
    and their high beams blind me.
    it reminds me:
    just bad timing,
    reasons i'm alone.
    i watched this girl being choked
    by a man she hardly knows
    in a room full of strangers
    who probably don't know her name.
    the first time i had sex was in a bathroom with a
    stranger.
    and my friends were right,
    and since that day it felt the same.
    and i wanna go back to when i laughed
    at things i thought were funny.
    and it goes
    and it goes
    at my funeral, don't lie.
    tell them i did not want to die.
    at my funeral, don't lie.
    tell 'em i didn't wanna die.
    at my funeral, don't lie.
    i didn't wanna die.
