The Cooper Temple Clause

The Cooper Temple Clause is a six piece rock band originating from Reading, UK. Their debut album See This Through and Leave was released to great critical acclaim in 2002 and their follow up Kick up the Fire, and Let the Flames Break Loose was released in 2003. They have been associated by some with the revival of prog-rock, although their influences also include the post-hardcore of At The Drive-In, as well as the typical 90s-era Britrock sound. They have also increasingly incorporated electronic music into their sound.
