New Interview: The Copyrights

What is there in Illinois besides Chicago and the surrounding suburbs? I don’t know, corn maybe, aren’t there some colleges, didn’t Abraham Lincoln come from there…oh, the Simpsons live in Springfield too, right? Illinois is not accredited for much down South, let alone a thriving music scene. The Copyrights from the small college town of Carbondale, IL are the exception and have been killing it with their catchy punk rock tunes; let’s not call it pop-punk…it’s more like buzzpop.

The Copyrights have made a name for themselves without the assistance of big city living and have a lot in-store for this year with relentless touring, including playing fests all around the United States. Earlier this month, The Copyrights released their latest blend of catchy sing-along choruses, hooks, and witty lyrics with North Sentinel Island. Singer and bassist, Adam Fletcher met up with ThePunkSite.com at their record release show to talk about making it as a band from Southern Illinois, the new album, and what the Copyrights and Dear Landlord (2/4 of The Copyrights play in that band too) are up to this year.
