In the not so distant we've been likened to Crowded House, McFly, The Beatles and The Levellers...
But basically we have lots of catchy indie pop tunes, occasionally veering off to more mellow or noisy pastures just to see what things look like there.
We are Cooper, a four FIVE piece guitar band from the Midlands, UK.
Four became five in spring 2008 - welcome Emma!
We've been going for a couple of years with the odd cover here and lots of original songs there.
We all write stuff so there are lots of influences in our music from mellow acoustic vibes to Britpop anthems.
We are Cooper, this is what we look like...
We played at Leamington Peace Festival at the weekend (16th June 07) and in a matter of moments the first three songs were up and running on you tube - how cool is that!
Just to let you know i've finished "You Knew" and you can download it from www.shedofwonderstudios.co.uk, simply go there and click on pipeline32 and enter the access data i gave you!

Cooper, greetings to you, were playing at the Go! Club in Brum on Nov 10th and we need two support bands, would you like to fill one of our slots? hope you can, its a rather splendid venue with an extremely late bar for post gig celebration... James.
Don't be shy guys if ya wanna use me and my studio at some point, Mr. Porter and I go way back so you're more than welcome! All the best with the competition!
Hey guys, might catch you guys at the peace festival,
We are playing the JUG AND JESTER - LEAMINGTON SPA, on the 20TH JUNE !!!!
This is our Jaffuation gig, to say good bye to our good uni friends. This is your last chance to catch all the old material, we are working on a lot of new stuff at the moment. But Jaffa will live on next year!

Hey hows it going?
We reeeeeeeaaaaaallllllllyyyyyy need you!
We are aiming to get into the top 20 UK chart with the single 'Ask Away' - The single is in memory of our bassist/vocalist Tim Brown and it would be the best lasting memory we could do for him.
The single is out June 11th (Just 1 week away!!), and would help us so much if you picked up a copy(or 2!!!!). You will be able to order from HMV online , and most download sites from monday June 11th! There will be links from our page to all the sites so keep checking back
YOU CAN PREORDER IT ON HMV NOW, JUST CLICK ON THE BANNER BELOW!!
Would be really amazing if you bought a copy in that week, and help us make Tims dream come true
We have just put up yet another demo up on our profile called "7 Steps" free to download this month of May...we'll be recording all the new tunes properly in about a month...well excited
We've also added the other version of "Succession of Obsessions" too, with Chris doin' a bit of singin'..if you liked it before you'll love it now.
Finally, we're in need of some support for our next few shows as as you can see below....it's all on
Cheers heaps and lots and loads and lumps, Circle 3 x
We have just put up a new tune called "Succession of Obsessions" on our
