Already making their mark in the states, Irish rock trio Kopek (Shane Cooney- drums, Brad Kinsella – Bass and Daniel Jordan – vocals/guitar) are looking forward to their US debut release, White Collar Lies set to hit stores on March 1 on Religion Music via SIN/SonyMusic Independent Network. “Kopek’s album gave me the same chills as Nirvana’s ‘Nevermind'” according to StaticNoise.net, and Hard Rock Haven has called it “a melancholic and honest trail of rock and roll brilliance.” The album produced by Glenn Herlihy of Religion Music, mastermind mixer and Grammy winner Tom Lord-Alge and multi Grammy mastering guru Ted Jensen.
“White Collar Lies was inspired by the corruption and loss of life we see continuously in our world today, so much so that we have become numb and disconnected from each other. The album is an attempt to draw attention to this and maybe change some peoples’ ideas, or at least give them a push in the right direction,” explains frontman Dan Jordan.
The first single, the riff-erotious “Cocaine Chest Pains,” is about to enter the Top 30 at Active Rock and infesting the radio airwaves with over 50 radio stations supporting the track. An onslaught of rock explodes in an ode to the temptations we all face on a daily basis. “Most people have an addiction and it doesn’t take an illegal substance to have one. Think obviously alcohol, nicotine, prescription drugs etc, but also coffee, Internet, TV, some people are even addicted to work”. Explains frontman Dan Jordan
Relentless road warriors, Kopek just wrapped up a six week tour with Hinder, My Darkest Days and Saving Abel and will be headed out on tour with COLD starting March 15th.
