“I wanted to make more than just another artist project,” Adam Freeland explains of Cope™, the new album from his surname-bestowed group. “I always saw Cope™ as a band album more than just another DJ slapping together a bunch of random club grooves. I wanted to create songs I could play live, not just spin.”
If you want a free taste of these so-called “songs”, you can get a free copy of new single Under Control on download by clicking here.
He explains more about the new direction: “The new songs combine electronic grooves with shoegaze guitars, real drums, and songwriting, so they begged to be performed live. 'I've always mixed rock into my sets anyway, so having a band is just a natural progression from that,'
“Freeland has all the hard-hitting grooves of my DJ sets, but played live they're even more raw, personal and in your face. This is the sound I've always heard in my head, so now I want to hear it as loud as possible!”
Also if you want to see the band play for free, head over to The Custard Factory in Birmingham on April 11th - he's headlining their biggest ever free event.
