The Cooper Temple Clause were an indie rock band from Berkshire, England.
They were ensconced in an ex-farmhouse studio on the outskirts of their hometown for almost two years, preparing and recording their debut album ‘See This Through And Leave’. A ferocious rock record unafraid of challenging listeners and shattering genres, here was a shape-shifting six-piece of future punk stormtroopers with the hair of the devil’s own pack dogs and not a care in the world for scenes or fashions. Team Cooper was born. And recruitment was brisk.
By the release of second album ‘Kick Up The Fire, Let The Flames Break Loose’ in 2003 - again recorded reclusively in Reading and with the minimum of record company interference, Team Cooper had become an army capable of breaking into the Top Twenty without the need for crossover radio support or heavy rotation videos. Gigs became riotous devotionals. They played one triumphant US headline tour and a second set of arena dates in support of The Cure. The Cooper Temple Clause were going stratospheric.
