"Invasion of The Cooters"
compact disc released by Cooters Records August 1, 1996
Recorded at Easley Studios in November 1995 and released in 1996 by The Cooters, "Invasion of the Cooters" was the Cooters first full length compact disc. This record was a compilation of tracks recorded by The Cooters trio, but most songs also feature the Cooters collaboration with Brad Boatright (From Ashes Rise) on lead vocals and guitar.
Highlights of this ultra-chaotic compact disc include the hardcore anthem "Go Johnny Go!," the crusty dance sensation "Do the Zombie" and the Judas Priest cover of "Breaking the Law." Many longtime Cooters fans swear by this album, but the record will never be repressed in its original form, as some of the songs were rerecorded for the "Punk Metal" album. There are just a few copies left, so...

Some reviews of "Invasion Of The Cooters:
"One should expect great variety from a CD of experimental hardcore punk influenced by Southern Gothic and outer space themes, and this CD delivers the goods. Its rapid-paced, evolving sound and heavy use of samples should keep you entertained if you like diversity in music."
-The Daily Mississippian, September 10,1996
"Within this disc lurks a brutal mix of Metal and Hardcore from a tight as fuck trio hailing from Mississippi: the lad of Christian watchdog groups and an endless string of Baptist churches. The Cooters dabble in speedy guitars, moshy parts, as well as some amphetamine inspired drumming that will have you slam dancing around your house naked in no time."
-Under The Volcano magazine, December 1997
"Musically, this runs the spectrum of punk, crust, fusion jazz and just plain chaos! Lyrics are political and personal, and often have a fuck-shit-up attitude towards life in the Bible Belt - including a cover of "Breakin' The Law" which gets a regular airing in our office. "
-Profane Existence magazine, July 1997
