Copout

Copout was a hardcore punk/thrash band from Memphis, TN, active in the early 1990's. Featured members of talk is poison, bombs away, pezz, fmd, cryonics, Tragedy, His Hero is Gone, Warcry, Deathreat, etc. They released a demo cassette called Get Ready Fuckers, a live cassette called More Dead than Alive on Team Murder USA, a Self-Titled 9-song 7" on Team Murder USA (#003) in 1993, and a split 7" with Face Down (1994, ?). They also had two compilation appearances, the song Haitian Expeditionary Force on a compilation 7" called Yo Pablo (Lengua Armada, 1996) and two live songs recorded live at 924 Gilman, Untitled and Over There, on the Fiesta Comes Alive Compilation 12"/CD (Slap-a-Ham, 1997). They broke up in 1995. A recording without vocals for a 12" that was going to be released on Prank! as #002, but it unfortunately didn't happen. What's more, the More Dead than Alive recording was remixed on the early 2000's and was going to be released as a 12" (Prank #026), but that didn't happen either. The 7" is more straight up Jack hammmer thrash, the split has a bit of different influence/ mood to it. By the time they came out for fiesta grande they were triple speed of either record. - Ken of Prank! Records
