Cooper T – in session for John Kennedy – X-Posure – Radio X – October 14, 2023 – Radio X London
Cooper T in session tonight – recorded for John Kennedy’s X-Posure program and broadcast on October 14th of this year. A good band who embrace a lot of different genres and mix them up in numerous inventive ways – but I am baffled by the insistence on the ski masks. Admittedly a gimmick but they are one band who don’t need one.
Manchester’s Finest ran a good background piece on the band – here’s an excerpt to get you acquainted,if you aren’t already:
“Manchester’s own Cooper T, the masked duo known for their unique fusion of Brit-indie heritage and future-facing sound, has released their debut EP ‘SAPIENS.’ Accompanied by the visually stunning music video for the lead single ‘Original,’ the EP stands as a testament to the band’s ability to capture the ominous sound of British life in 2023.
Signed to Foundation Music, Cooper T consists of Tommo & Jack, both highly versatile musicians who work seamlessly with traditional instruments as well as contemporary technology such as computers, drum machines, and synthesizers. Their sound is a compelling collision of classic and modern, influenced by Manchester’s musical heroes like LEVELZ, Broke n English, and Children of Zeus.
Cooper T has already built a strong live following with their fresh take on live performances, known for their energetic and engaging stage presence. The release of this debut EP marks only the start of their journey, with the world just beginning to glimpse their expansive catalogue of songs.
The band’s lyrics offer a poetic vision of city life, resonating with a generation seeking meaning and authenticity. Cooper T’s music is more than entertainment—it’s a signpost for the times, a way to make sense of a complex world, and a danceable reality. As this generation’s soundtrack, they have all the elements in place to become an enduring voice in modern British music.”
Next thing for you to do is press play and relax.
(and a huge thanks to Manchester’s Finest for the brilliant words).
