The Cooper Temple Clause (1998-2007) were an indie rock band from Wokingham, United Kingdom.

Using a farmhouse turned into a studio on the outskirts of their hometown, it took almost two years to record their debut album ‘See This Through And Leave’. An intense rock record, unafraid of challenging listeners and genres, it ignored scenes and fashion.

By the release of second album ‘Kick Up The Fire, Let The Flames Break Loose’ in 2003 - again recorded reclusively in Reading and with the minimum of record company interference, Team Cooper had become an army capable of breaking into the Top Twenty without the need for crossover radio support or heavy rotation videos. Gigs were riotous devotionals. They played one triumphant US headline tour and a second set of arena dates in support of The Cure.

Then 2004 saw a shake-up at RCA leaving TCTC without an A&R man and with a new, unfamiliar set of faces and ears in charge who hadn’t grown up with, and therefore didn’t quite ‘get’, their isolationist methods and slash and burn musical direction. So, as the ‘Kick Up The Fire…’ campaign wound to a close there began a period of uncertainty and miscommunication between band and label. The Coopers once more holed up in their Reading pig farm to record demos for third album ‘Make This Your Own’ with long-term producer Dan Austin. After 12 uncertain months, eventually RCA re-signed the band and sent TCTC into the studio with ex-Adam and the Ants man Chris Hughes at the desk. (read more)
