TOURING; NEW RECORD OUT: THE GOLDEN HOUR
Firewater (photo at top) and Cop Shoot Cop share singer Tod Ashley (the guy in the picture above), also known as Tod A. Cop Shoot Cop was the greatest of all bands, and was a noisy little outfit that in some incarnations was known for having multiple bassists and no guitarist (and the keyboards weren't exactly lead most of the time). Firewater isn't really noisy usually; nevertheless they continue much of the underlying song writing style of CSC (although it took me a few listens to their first album to make the transition). This isn't to derrogate the other members of both bands; their own contributions can be seen on their other projects, many of which have links below.
There are links to audio below, so you can decide for yourself what Firewater and Cop Shoot Cop sound like. Phil Puleo's site is the best source for Cop Shoot Cop MP3s; there is no primary source for Firewater MP3s, unless you count The Tod Hole as your guide to them…
