VIDEO OF THE DAY: “LIGHT ON” BY BAD COP

Nashville anarchic punks Bad Cop are out on the road in support of their latest release, The Light On EP (Jeffery Drag, July 2013), and detailing their madventures through a series of webisodes dubbed The Light On Chronicles. The five-song EP, which can be streamed for free here, includes “Can’t Get Enough,” which cofounder Adam Hoult wrote while in the hoosegow, and “Light On,” which is about other cofounder Alex Hartness’s nearly fatal overdose — he was actually pronounced dead at one point. Fleshed out with bassist Mike Frazier and drummer Kevin Kilpatrick, the band goes all-tilt shriek-out on “Post McDonalds Punks,” while EP opener and closer, “The Wind” and “My Dying Days,” respectively, are downright melodic in comparison. Bad Cop will be at Cameo Gallery on August 27 with Automotive High School, Plastic Visions, and Such Hounds and at Pianos on August 28 with Monogold, Slonk Donkerson, Plastic Visions, and Of the Opera.
