Kopek (band)

Original drummer Shane Cooney and bassist Brad Kinsella grew up as next-door neighbors in Dublin, and shared a love of classic and modern rock music.

The first singer who answered their ad in a local musician's magazine was Daniel Jordan from Ashbourne, and from there the band Bloom was born, although they subsequently took on the name Kopek.

In 2009, Dublin-based record company Religion Music signed the band to a multi-album deal from Dublin based indie label Plug Artists.

If Kopek's musical talents and writing abilities continue to increase and mature in the direction in which they are currently pointed then they are poised to conquer the world."

In 2012, they signed a European record deal for the release of White Collar Lies with "Love is Dead" as the album's lead single.
