CO-OP

No strangers to performance, CO-OP brings a big, powerful sound to their show. Forming in 2014, CO-OP began gathering a small following in the local Phoenix scene. Within a few years, having shared a stage with rock legends like Mötley Crüe, The Hollywood Vampires and Alice Cooper, CO-OP is expanding their influence beyond Arizona and even outside the United States.
Founder and frontman Dash Cooper's (son of Alice Cooper) powerful vocals mix a classic rock undertone with the strength and grit of modern rock, while guitar player Jeremy Tabor introduces heavy riffs mixed with melodic hooks that keep the music powerful and interesting. Justin Swartzentruber (bass) and Nick Spann (drums) hold down the foundation.
Not content to stick only to pursuing their careers in music, CO-OP often puts their skills to work helping raise funds for Alice Cooper's Solid Rock Teen Center. The work has often brought with it opportunities to perform as a back-up band along with other philanthropic volunteers such as Alex Lifeson (Rush), Danny Seraphine (Chicago) and Tommy Thayer of KISS.
2017 brought the band on their first tour with label mates One Eyed Doll and Dollskin. In 2018, the band played direct support for FLAW on their Spring tour. Their debut album will be released worldwide on June 15, 2018 under Ellefson's EMP Label Group, with their first single "N.O.W." already gaining radio airplay nationwide.

"The band's name could be a play on senior Cooper's nickname, which junior has inherited, coop, or maybe it's CO-OP as in co-operative. It doesn't really matter the band stands on their own two feet big time." ~ Dave Stott, Devils Gate Media
