Formed in England in the late '90s, the Cooper Temple Clause bring forth a powerful compound of alternative rock. In 2000, the group signed with RCA and offered its first disc, the EP Hardware/Warfare in 2001. After an extensive tour, the crew began being recognized by the British alternative scene, and the band issued a winning single, "Film Maker/Been Training Dogs," that quickly ascended to the top spot of the major U.K. charts. February 2002 saw the release of their debut full-length, See This Through and Leave. One year later, they earned wide international distribution with Kick Up the Fire, and Let the Flames Break Loose. ~ Mario Mesquita Borges
