Bad Cop Bad Cop has done angry. The band’s 2017 full-length, Warriors, was recorded in the aftermath of the 2016 presidential election. The Los Angeles quartet’s new full-length, The Ride (Fat Wreck Chords, June 19th), shows what happens when you come out the other side of that anger. The message BCBC is sending this time around is less about wagging your finger at others, or giving the middle one to the Man, than it is about self-love and acceptance. As Cotterill puts it, “Love is a more powerful truth than anger.” That positivity fuels many of The Ride’s tracks: “Originators,” “Simple Girl,” “Community,” “I Choose,” “Perpetual Motion Machine,” and “The Mirage” exude confidence, gratitude, and compassion. In 2020, such things qualify as contrarian. The perspective behind The Ride lends it an undeniable maturity, without losing its power. Recorded throughout much of 2018 and 2019 by Johnny Carey and Fat Mike of production team the D-Composers, the album boasts all of the elements of BCBC’s sound: big guitars, lock-step bass and drums (the latter by powerhouse drummer Myra Gallarza), intricate vocal harmonies, and plenty of attitude.

Leider muss die Show abgesagt werden. Hier das Statement der Band: Hello there… We at Bad Cop Bad Cop regret to inform you that we will NOT be coming to Europe and the UK this year. We have labored over this decision for months, as we have notoriously been in the line of fire when it comes to covid and health issues. We were the ones that had to fly home two weeks early when covid struck the world and then again when it personally struck us this past year. To preserve our mental well-being and overall health, we have decided that this time we can’t take the risk. BUT WE WILL BE BACK IN 2023! Our new dates are getting booked now, so please look out for our next post about it all. Though, unfortunately, some dates will be cancelled all together, so please keep your eyes open for those too, so you can get a refund. Our band never wants to let anyone down, we love you all and want to get back over to your side of the world as soon as it is safe for us. We really hope you understand, and we hope to see you in 2023!!!! Thank you for your support! Love – BCBC
