Copywrong is a band based in southern England, dedicated to producing music freely available to all, in the belief that the mine of music genres and chord sequences have long been exhausted. What should be left is, we believe, a celebration of what sounds and feels good, to be free to be played and listened to. This does not mean the right to blatantly copy someone else's work, but it does mean the acceptance by the music community that tens of thousands of well-meaning bands are scrabbling over the relatively few attractive chord series and melodies.
Why this name?
Copyright in music is far too strict, with many signed bands showing arrogance in reference to their "exclusive", "original" work. It's also a reference to the mass of bands simply covering other bands' stuff, from pubs to the charts. IT'S WRONG TO COPY!
Do you play live?
No chance! After playing some gigs in a pay to play capacity, Copywrong turned it's back on live play.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Revolutionary and liberating for the little people. Frightening and disturbing for the big uns. Good.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
No, Copywrong is self-sufficient and satisfied. Also, such a contract would be impracticable, as Copywrong do not, and will not, copyright their music.

Your influences?
Our musical influences do not really truly reflect on the music we come out with. We like loads of stuff.

Ewood park, and Mick's more at home surrounded by his stereo speakers and the latest crap he's just blown the last of his money on.
