Copeland is an American rock band formed in 2001 by the singer, pianist Aaron Marsh (who also plays guitar) with his friend, the bass guitarist and backing vocalist James Likeness, in Lakeland, Florida.

Aaron Marsh and Bryan Laurenson signed a record deal with the independent label The Militia Group in 2002 and released their first album, Beneath Medicine Tree, a year later.

The album booklet includes photographs of hospital scenes by then-bass guitarist James Likeness.

He cited pursuing a career as a graphic designer (a field in which he has a college degree) as a chief reason in his decision.

[citation needed] A year afterwards, in 2008, Copeland released their final album, You Are My Sunshine under Tooth & Nail Records.

Copeland teamed up with Instant Live to create a series of 21 limited edition CDs of many of the band's shows during their tour with Daphne Loves Derby, The Spill Canvas and Melee, between October 13 and November 7, 2005.
