Biography
Cop Shoot Cop was a rock music group founded in New York City in 1987 and disbanded in 1996.
They were frequently classified as industrial rock, but were often quite different from many bands so dubbed. Tod A.’s lyrics were clever, snide and evocative (Art Black and David Sprague suggest that “Black humor beats black metal any day”) and their “weirdly catchy” music which drew “on hot jazz and swing as much as clanging rock, emphasizing the group’s stand-apart attitude.”
The group had little mainstream success (scoring a few hits on college radio), despite tours with Iggy Pop and music videos on MTV’s Headbanger’s Ball and 120 Minutes (notably $10 Bill, featuring a number of little people). They retain a cult following, however, and their out-of-print releases sometimes sell for large amounts among fans.
