Good news and bad news

So, bad news first. Not really connected to us, but its a little sad. Cursed, one of Canada's greatest hardcore bands, have kicked the bucket. Broken up after they had everything robbed on their last day of tour in Europe.
This is a bummer because we really looked up to Cursed as inspiration for this band. The initial idea i had with Matt was to start a heavy band similar to sounding like Cursed.
Regardless, they were a band and they put out some fucking amazing music. If you haven't heard of Cursed, you should probably crawl out from under the rock you've been living under. Listen to some of their music here.

Good news! Taylor, the super rad guy who runs Just Say No! Records/Distro, got ours and Hominid's tour dates and myspace addresses printed in the next issue of Profane Existence Magazine! Thank you so much Taylor!

Also, Begrime Exemious, featuring ex Cope drummer Orphy, has been added to the Electro Quarterstaff show. Get ready for some brutally heavy metal. Fuck yes!

Thats it for now. We're going to go see Indy 4 tonight. It better be good...

Cope blog. So i can blog about stuff you don't bloggin care about

Welcome to the Cope news blog. I figured with shows, recording, merch, and tours coming up, posting myspace bulletins and such will get shitty. So now with this, i can easily tell you about shows coming up, like on June 1st for example with Electro Quarterstaff.

Like i said, we have a bunch of stuff coming up. We begin the recording process with Mr. Steve Laughton of High Jinks for a CDEP/7". Also with that we will probably be making some merch so we don't starve on tour.

So, as it is, this is what is happening in the next coming months:

6/1 Edmonton, AB w/ Electro Quarterstaff
6/28 Calgary, AB w/ Ruiner
7/12 Edmonton, AB w/ Punch
7/13 Calgary, AB w/ Punch
7/24 Edmonton, AB w/ Hominid
7/25 Saskatoon, SK w/ Hominid
7/26 Regina, SK w/ Hominid
7/27 Calgary, AB w/ Hominid
7/28 Lethbridge, AB w/ Hominid
7/29 Vernon, BC w/ Hominid
7/31 Vancouver, BC w/ Hominid
8/3 Chilliwack, BC w/ Hominid

All show information including venues, additional bands, and times can be found in our shows section on our myspace. Also, as soon as i have more updates, i will post them here.

"Damn! SSSSSSSSSNNNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKEEEEEEEEE!"
