Kopek
Jan 17, 2011
Hailing from Dublin, Ireland, Kopek: Shane Cooney (drums), Brad Kinsella (Bass), Daniel Jordan (vox), are looking forward to their US debut release, White Collar Lies on March 1st on Religion Music via SIN/SonyMusic Independent Network. The band will hit the road for their first US tour with Hinder, Saving Abel and My Darkest Days which kicks off on January 21st.
The first single "Cocaine Chest Pains" was shipped to Active Rock and Alternative Rock radio late last year and will impact the formats on January 18th and has already received over a dozen early radio adds.
"Kopek dispel the myth that if you're an Irish band you have to sound like U2 or Van Morrison. Though singer Daniel Jordan's Irish accent is unmistakable, these 20-somethings channel their classic rock influences (Zeppelin, Hendrix, The Stones) into modern and fresh, fist-pumping rock that sounds like it was born on L.A.'s Sunset Strip." - Big Takeover
With production from Glenn Herlihy of Religion Music, and mastermind mixer and Grammy winner Tom Lord-Alge and multi Grammy mastering guru Ted Jensen, White Collar Lies is a refreshing dose of genuine, raw and emotional rock. Every song is exciting and authentic." - The Punk Site
With the US release of Kopek, Religion Music has also announced the appointment of Elias Chios as General Manager to head up Religion Music in the USA, based out of New York City. Chios comes to Religion Music after a 12 year stint at Roadrunner Records where he was most recently Senior Director of Marketing and product manager for Nickelback, Theory of a Deadman, Stone Sour, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, The Parlor Mob, The Dresden Dolls, Collective Soul, Dommin, and Ratt to name a few. He can be reached at Elias@religionmusic.com.
