"The band adds to their originality with their frank and amusing lyrics." - East Coast Rocker
"...it is apparent that they enjoy breaking barriers." - East Coast Rocker
"Copesetic is definitely a band you should watch out for in the future" - The Beacon Weekly
"...this ambitious group has a distinct flavor that true music lovers are sure to enjoy." - Upstage
Copesetic's music, like life, can be a lot to digest. Whether it's making whoopee, speaking out for frogs, trees, peace, love, or gin and tonic, they deliver a full-course meal of wholesome folk rock.
The band's four members (brothers Matt and Henry Prol, Jason Van Dyke, and Michael Durek) began as a small fetus of rock playing basement shows during their formative years in college. But time passed, and the child grew, burgeoning with the release of the group's first self-released work - The Keys EP. The young men set their sights on New York City and its surroundings, and have since played venues such as The Knitting Factory, The Bitter End, The Red Lion, The Pussycat Lounge, The Whiskey Bar in Hoboken, and others. But in a never-ending quest to make their music accurately reflect the sound of their mother's voice in the womb, Copesetic has placed new emphasis on the pure sound of three-part vocal harmony, the simple beauty of the acoustic guitar, the confounding uniqueness of the modern synthesizer, and the relentless upbeat rat-a-tat of the cajon. Check out the Crosby, Stills, & Nash-style three-part vocal harmonies, the George Harrison-like existentialism, and the whimsical lyricism of John Prine or Devendra Banhart. The group hopes to reach listeners with their energetic live show that is truly a celebration of the human experience. Grab a fork, turn your ears on, and dig in!
Come see us buddys! We'll be at IM Automata Chino May 29th.

Hey duders! Yo, great times on Saturday with great harmonies that would make Crosby Still & Nash cream their bellbottoms. Let's get you guys back here soon!
Yo dudes! When's your next show? I'd like to come see the whole set as opposed to 20 minutes. I dig the tracks. Henry's Guitar playing is very soulful, very Jeff Beck-esque where there's not too too many notes but every note has a distinct purpose also I love the fact that he maintains picking nails like myself! Very few guitarist have the balls to grow them. But in any event, we got some shows coming up so if you guys aren't busy, I'd like you to see what we're all about since you missed us at Borders. Peace!
