Bio

Every once in a while a band comes out with simply “the right sound” and undeniable radio-ready songs. Cooper has been together for less than a year and have already created a buzz in an industry searching for fresh blood and commercial viability. Based in New York, they have consistently penned energetic, big-hooked modern rock songs and the fever is spreading slowly over the city and the surround regions.

Having already won two major songwriting contests (sponsored by BMI and Billboard Magazine) with their very first song “Another Round”, the band has gone on to write more compelling material and continue to add to their already substantial fan base. With regular gigs at local hotspots such as The Bitter End, The Living Room, Mercury Lounge and CBGB’s, Cooper captivates their crowd with emotional, hard-hitting rock that ranges from the chart-ready smash “Aftertaste” to the lazy, hypnotic “One Away." Critics, industry professionals and labels have already come knocking and with showcases filling up in the months ahead one thing is clear—Cooper is bound for the national spotlight.
