“If you’re in a band, and you should be, you don’t want to go on stage after Are You A Cop.” says L.A. promoter Eddie Solis, “They have a way of leaving you bewildered, so much energy. They are the loudest and the quietest band around. Are You A Cop makes you feel proud to be a part of the music scene.”
Indeed, it seems as if Are You A Cop is becoming this strange phenomenon of entertainment. Their music is all over the place… rock, thrash-punk, experimental, country, metal and all these vocal harmonies… just what the fuck is going on here?
For starters, their drummer, who goes by the name Drummer, is also Gregory Moore, who played on several SST Records releases including the latest Gone CD with Greg Ginn, HR and Andy Batwinas. Simply put: you will never forget your first Drummer experience. Are You A Cop’s guitarist/singer-songwriter Ash Mullin is an intimidating but charming presence whose hobby seems to be strangling guitars and writing beautiful music. His playing style is unpretentious, authentic and VERY aggressive. Then there’s bassist/singer-songwriter Jonathan Pekar, who makes up the final piece of the trio. He’s magnetic, overly principled and hilarious. Hanging out with Jonathan is like spending time with Donald Duck; he also might be the loudest person you will ever come across.
Yes, there is no shortage of personality with Are You A Cop and it is apparent in their music. They pack in the fun and musical complexity that has made Los Angeles the continual breeding ground for great original music.
