They’re that band who’s been opening for the Lawrence Arms this year and who write insanely catchy pop punk songs you want to listen to 8,000 times in a row? Of course you do. (Look, we’re just trying to save you some embarrassment here on the off chance that you aren’t familiar with the Copyrights.) Anyway, they have a new seven-inch out next month via Fat Wreck which we will be buying and which you should too. From what we hear, they’re working on a new full-length for August so this EP will have to hold us over for now.You can listen to a song from it, “No Knocks,” below which is about, well, let drummer Luke O’Neill tell you:"No Knocks" is written from the perspective of a well-off person, who has problems like the rest of us, although those problems are dismissed sort of as "Cry me a river, rich boy."In other words, #firstworldproblems. Here’s the song, you whining babies.
