The all female Bad Cop/ Bad Cop have been on the
music scene since 2011 and after playing a show
in San Francisco in 2013 Fat Mike approached the
girls after being in the audience watching the
show and instantly signed them up and here we
are now in April 2014 and Bad Cop/ Bad Cop have
just released their debut EP ‘Boss Lady’
on Fat Mike’s Fat Wreck Chords.
‘Boss Lady’ features 4 tracks and
runs for just over 10minutes and is quite a rocking
punk-rock EP which is full of catchy moments and
lots of attitude especially throughout their lyrics
epically when they scream out “Shove your
labels, we’ll flip your table, and we won’t
apologize for causing a scene” during ‘My
Life’.
The EP opens with the repetitively anthemic ‘My
Life’ which features such a sing-a-long
chorus of “it’s my life, it’s
my life”, instrumentally these girls seriously
know how to play as they lay down some fast paced
riffs and big drum beats through the short running
of the song. ‘Cucumber’ follows on
nicely with some massive drum beats which are
really hard hitting and in your face. ‘Rodeo’
is the most accessible song on the EP it flows
so well, is full of melody and really shines from
start to finish. ‘Asshole’ closes
the EP and is a short track running for just over
1minute and the song is lyrically full of hate
and anger as the band hit out at someone with
a shit hair cut who has been fucking a friend.
Fat Mike made a good decision signing up Bad Cop/
Bad Cop as the band clearly have the sound that
suits the Fat Wreck Chords label, their new EP
‘Boss Lady’ is a good release but
it doesn’t bring anything that we haven’t
heard before to an already exciting punk rock
scene.
3/5
