"Call the cops..." 2) Call the Cops…, formed in ‘04, is a class struggle punk rock band based out of Baltimore, Maryland.
Tess (vocals), Dan the Cannibal (vocals/harmonica), John (drums), Al (Bass)and Nick (guitar). Original cast of Tom, Dan, Al and Brian for the beginning conception and first two songs quickly changed with the addition of members from Enemy Ancestor and Brian dropping the guitar for Nick to pick up.
Disbanded as of '07 to pursue other projects including Perdition (NY), Sheltershock (MD), Sacri-fidelis (MD), and Drunk again (MD).
"Call the cops" 3) While being together during the same time as the 2) Call The Cops, this line up hailed from the Arizona deserts. The original line up was Jon(vocals), Shaun(guitar), Zach(of Coughing Up Blood and Get Destroyed, bass), and Dustin (drums). The first practice they had in Dustin's garage (in which the cops were called) then Shaun's dad found an empty office for them to practice in on Sundays at the Lexus dealership where he worked. After a few practices with Dustin he was replaced with Nik and they stopped practicing at the Lexus Dealership. Eventually they recorded numerous times and were scheduled to have a 7" put out on 625. After kicking Shaun out and not finding a replacement the band fell apart and the record was never released. However, almost two years after the band's demise four of their demo tracks appeared on the 625 "Trapped In A Scene" Comp.
Zach and Nik now play guitar and drums in Get Destoryed, Jon plays drums in Think Fast, and Shaun is still the biggest Ohio State fan you will ever meet in your entire life.
"Call the cops" 4) A 4-piece rotten raw drunk punk band based in Bologna, Italy. All Cops Are Bastards.

She's so... but dammit I want her
Everytime she moves her hips
Her lips just start to blow a kiss
There's no end to this
Girl quit playing games
'Cause everytime we touch I never get enough
'Cause everytime we touch you never get enough
So baby let's dim down the lights get up or get down
Get up get up, get up or get down
Get up get up, get up or get down
Your curves, your scent, your eyes
It's hard to imagine that you could be so shy
Don't wanna be cool but darling
I don't want to waste, another perfect night
Above the waist, I'm begging you please please please
Cause everytime we touch I never get enough
No matter what you do you always kill me
'Cause everytime we touch you never get enough
So baby let's dim down the lights get up or get down
Get up get up, get up or get down
Get up get up, get up or get down
Get up get up, get up or get down
