CO-OP

Alice Cooper's son Dash steps into the spotlight with his band CO-OP with the release of their debut full-length album.
Even though the self-titled CO-OP album, released June 15, 2018, represents the band's first official album, they've been around for some time, building an audience through steady performing and recording. Although Dash Cooper's second-generation rocker status isn't exactly a secret, he insists it isn't something they've gone out of their way to exploit.
"We've been trying to do this on our own," Cooper told I'm Music Magazine. "Yes, I am Alice's son, but it's not one of those things that we're going to absolutely rely on in order to get us to that next step. I think we have the talent to get there on our own and with that being said, we also love the input and direction that Alice gives us. He works with us every now and then and we jam with him; those are great times and we wouldn't trade those for the world."
Still, those family connections proved fruitful. "Alice Cooper took Megadeth out on our first big tour, and we've always had a great relationship. Alice wrote the foreword to my book My Life with Deth," said EMP co-founder and Megadeth bassist David Ellefson. "So it's been really exciting to be able to bring that relationship full circle and work with Dash and CO-OP, who have grown into an incredible rock band."
