"Capsule Review"

"It's all about primeval garage rock with dirty blues riffs and a singer that doesn't just talk the talk, but walks the walk and then some. This is the kind of band that would kick start that early morning house party come riot that memories are made of." - Capsule


"Artrocker Review"

"Copter are great. .. doing that kind of rock 'n roll funked up stuff that ties up James Brown soulful strutting with grimy rock. Class."
- Artrocker


"Artrocker Review 2"

"They come from Mars via Birmingham, dress in uniforms, have a fully functioning android that takes the lead on some songs and a preacher cum front man who spends most of his time in the audience or on top of the speakers."
- Artrocker


"Sandman Review"

"Some bands are all gimmicks and no musical substance, not so with Birmingham's Copter. High energy, dirty low down rock and roll that sits nicely next to the headliners (Blues Explosion). The crowd clearly love every storming, shaking minute of their set." - Sandman


"Artrocker Review 3"

"This is what you call a hard rocking garage soul revue...They could be Man or Astroman, Make-up or Hives, all in the same song. In other words, a full on dance party a la Ramones in "Rock'n'Roll High School."
- Artrocker


"Brainlove Review"

"Copter are a band at the peak of their powers, playing the best sci-fi rock 'n' soul music in town... this band have got it going on. Don't miss the boat baby, get 'em while they're hot." - Brainlove


"The Crutch Review"

"Cool Jerk (The Capitols) organ with drippings of sonic fuzz - cream-filled soul-coated rock and roll that doesn't sell its soul to make people dance."
- The Crutch


"NME Review"

"Sci-fi theatrics morphed with soulful rock 'n' roll from a six-piece who feature a robot droid called M.I.L.O among their numbers. Bonkers, but in a totally brilliant way."
- NME

Bio

We play needle-down, rocket powered rock & soul from outer space to your dancing feet via your inner ear.
We play with a fierce right side of the brain and are all about keeping it below the belt.
We're from 500 years in your future and we've been here since 2000.
We've played live with Blues Explosion, The Dirtbombs, Heavy Trash, The Soledad Brothers, Weird War, Bob Log III, Kid Congo Powers, Dan Sartain and many, many more of our favourite bands.

We have a 3d comic book biography.
We've played in art galleries.
We've played in strip joints.
We've played in front of 5 people and we've played in front of 1500.
