Copperworm @copperwormuk #music #promotion #tiorrplaylist #tiorr1 #onlyrockradio


Originally formed in late 2017 in Warrington by Peter Wolfe (Vocals and Guitar) and Andy Wood (Drums), Copperworm reformed a month later when their original bassist left to live in Columbia

A month later and their new bass player, Brent Copson joined the band and it was a match made in rock heaven!

The new band had very similar influences with such rock icons as Led Zep, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Reef, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, UFO, the Doors and Black Sabbath to name a few

Listening to their demo tracks on Soundcloud, the influences are apparent but Copperworm bring their own alternative rock sound to the stage and the studio

Describing themselves as an organically evolving rock band, it’s hard to pigeonhole them, with intelligently dark lyrics that touch on political and emotional topics that most shy away from

Peter Wolfe’s vocals have been compared to Lou Reed among others, though Peter’s unique sound delivers angst ridden gravel with a velvet darkness where needed



Stand out tracks are ‘Why?’, ‘I Don’t Care’ and their collab where they feature on Bret Sinclair’s excellent Boston Skies

Other tracks worthy of note include ‘Falling Down’ about the tragedy of suicide, that has been described as “all the songs I used to love” by one fan, as well as “Pulse”, which is Copperworm’s current anti war song

Their debut gig at the Salty Dog Pub in Northwich Cheshire in August was very well received by both fans and critics alike

One to keep an eye (or an ear) on
