***The Copyrights have been a driving force in the pop-punk scene for over two decades. With their infectious melodies and high- energy performances, they've cultivated a dedicated fanbase and become a beloved part of the music community. Their journey began in Carbondale, Illinois, where a group of friends with a shared love for punk rock decided to start a band. They quickly gained a reputation for their dynamic live shows and tight musicianship. By the time Fat Wreck Chords got in the mix, The Copyrights had established themselves as one of the genre's most reliable and beloved acts. Their sound had matured, but they never lost the energy and attitude that made them stand out in the first place. Their Fat Wreck debut full- length Alone in a Dome in 2021 further cemented their status in the pop-punk world, showcasing a band that could evolve without losing its identity. With New Ghosts, they're poised to add another bold chapter to their story. The new material not only reflects their growth as musicians but also their ability to stay relevant in a constantly changing musical landscape. Catch The Copyrights live this October at The Fest in Gainesville, Florida, with more tour dates on the horizon. As they gear up to release New Ghosts, they are proving once again why they're a beloved mainstay in the punk scene, and their journey is far from over.

***It’s been seven years since The Copyrights released their last album Report, but the wait is finally over. Ahead of the Carbondale, IL punks’ 20th anniversary in 2022, the foursome have returned with their seventh full-length album, Alone in A Dome. Not that you’d know it was the band’s seventh record—across the course of these 12 songs, the band sounds just as vibrant and vigorous, energetic and youthful, as it ever has. Whether that’s because they recorded most of it in the basement of Carbondale’s Lost Cross punk house, where the band was formed all those years ago, is uncertain, but the spirit of that house, of their youth and of the scene in general, is very much alive and kicking for the record’s half-hour runtime.
