An alternative rock band named after an obscure parliamentary amendment to the 1870 Elementary Education Bill, allowing parents to withdraw their children from religious education and preventing indoctrination in state schools. Accordingly, the band sent out an early demo to record labels that was coloured in with crayons.
Tom, Kieran, ‘Fish’, Ben, Jon and Didz released 3 studio albums and a number of EPs and singles during their 9 year existence, of which ‘
Blind Pilots’ was the most successful charting. with members going on to join Dirty Pretty Things, rhysmix, and other projects.
The band first got together in 1998. Using a farmhouse turned into a studio on the outskirts of Wokingham, United Kingdom, it took the Cooper Temple Clause almost two years to record their debut album ‘See This Through and Leave’. An intense rock record, unafraid of challenging listeners and genres, it ignored scenes and fashion.
By the release of second album ‘Kick Up the Fire, Let the Flames Break Loose’ in 2003 - named after a Philip Larkin poem, again recorded reclusively in Reading, and with the minimum of record company interference - Team Cooper had become an army capable of breaking into the Top Twenty without the need for crossover radio support or heavy rotation videos. Gigs were riotous devotionals, particularly those on the UK tour with The Libertines. They played one triumphant US headline tour and a second set of arena dates in support of The Cure.

Too bad there gone. They were quite the intriguing band and one of the best in this short 00's moment of bands. I think the first album should have been massive. 'Lets kill music' is amazing.
