Bad Cop Bad Cop

Bad Cop/Bad Cop made a video for "Sugarcane," on tour w/ The Interrupters

California punks Bad Cop/Bad Cop are one of the newer bands on Fat Wreck Chords, having released their Fat Mike-produced debut LP Not Sorry last year, but their sound is right up the alley of the label’s classic bands. One of the songs off that album, “Sugarcane,” has now been given the video treatment. It’s a black-and-white performance video, which is really all you need for a song that makes a statement as powerful as this one. Here’s how it opens:

She went back to the guy that beat her,
Who publicly called her his whore
If he came within five feet of me,
There´d be a price on his head for sure.
I´d use a fucking hammer on his face,
Yes, I would do that for her.
I would bite, kick, stab and brawl
Then he´d be out her life forever!

The video premieres right here:

Bad Cop/Bad Cop are on tour now with ska-punks The Interrupters, who have toured with Rancid, are signed to frontman Tim Armstrong’s Hellcat label, and had Tim produce and sing on both of their records. The tour hits NYC on Halloween night (10/31) at Highline Ballroom. Tickets are on sale now.
