TheCooters.com launches the all-new Cooters Message Board!
It's been turned off since April 12, 2001, when a suburban New York mall punk band launched a Hate Campaign against The Cooters. They posted lies about us on their website but more importantly, they came to our website and trashed it over and over and over again. We felt we had to turn off the public posting function of the Cooters Guestbook. We continued to receive hate e-mail from the band, their controversial "punk" record label and some of their associates. Despite the fact that the e-venom hasn't ended, we have decided to launch a new Cooters Message Board anyway. Will the controversy ever end?

The Cooters mixed down live material for possible release.
The Cooters have mixed several songs recorded by Tom Queyja on February 21, 2000 at Proud Larry's in Oxford, Mississippi. We mixed a cool version of Motorhead's "Ace of Spades," plus the hardcore punk anti-police state anthem, "Crusty," and the Cooters outrageous jazzcore tune, "Cosmo Demonic." "Crusty" has now been added to our MP3.com download page for a limited time. Go here to download it before it goes offline!

The Cooters MP3"Get the Gun!" hits at number one on MP3.com's "Sightings"chart
"Get the Gun" is the Cooters classic intro from our "Invasion of The Cooters" compact disc. And it isn't a song at all. Rather, "Get the Gun" is the real recording made in 1995 at the Cooters Farm of an unidentified flying object that streaked across the sky and crashed near our farm. This Cooters MP3 has been one of the most popular downloads off our MP3.com page, crossing genres to delight all kinds of outer space fans. "Get the Gun" made it as high as number 2 on the "Storytelling" genre last summer, but was moved into MP3.com's recently created "Sightings" category at the end of April 2001. Get your own copy of this cool mp3 by going here.

The Cooters Guestbook made temporarily unavailable…
The Cooters guestbook was turned off on April 12th, due to an unresolved legal matter with a New York-based corporate “punk” record label. We believe the company is spreading lies and rumors about us on their webpage and sending unwanted saboteurs to our website.
|
|
We aren’t going to mention their name on our site, but the corporate “punk” webpage is part of a conglomerate of dot bombs, that includes such failures as PunkVideos.com, EverythingPunk.com, FastMusicSports.com and over twenty other so called "punk" websites. They regularly post the latest news about what’s hot on MTV and ESPN, who’s who on the Vans Warped Tour, and all the latest gossip with major label mall-punk bands like New Found Glory, Weezer, MxPx and Green Day.
In between their self-indulgent ramblings, they disrespect real punks like Jello Biafra. The webpage recently launched a smear campaign against The Cooters, and is now spreading untrue rumors about us. We believe the New York City webpage has about as much street credibility as The Backstreet Boys or Milli Vanilli.
The Cooters are a 100% Do-It-Yourself punk metal band from Mississippi, by choice. While some self-righteous suit and tie guys may condescendingly view us as “unsigned,” we choose to follow in the footsteps of real punk labels and bands such as Fugazi / Dischord, Crass, Alternative Tentacles, Rotten Records, and Profane Existence. We’ve been recording, touring and having a blast since 1993, and we’ve been doing it our way, on our own terms.
We may issue another statement later on, but legal issues are currently pending.
-The Cooters
