The Cooper Temple Clause

The Cooper Temple Clause were an English alternative rock band, formed in Wokingham, Berkshire in 1998. The band released three albums before announcing their split on 24 April 2007, following the departure of Daniel Fisher.

History
See This Through And Leave (2002) The band's debut album, See This Through and Leave, was released on 11 February 2002. Three singles were released from the album: "Let's Kill Music", the double-A side "Film-Maker // Been Training Dogs", and "Who Needs Enemies?". The album was released on CD, limited edition double CD, international CD and a 7" boxed set, along with 2 promo CDs. The limited edition double CD contained 3 extra songs and live versions of "Panzer Attack" and "Let's Kill Music". It was well received by critics and reached number 27 in the UK Albums Chart. However, Hammond is credited as playing bass on two of Make This Your Owns eleven tracks: "Damage" and "What Have You Gone And Done". After many setbacks including a change in record label, and the loss of Didz Hammond, the band's third album was significantly delayed. It was finally released on 22 January 2007 and entitled Make This Your Own. It included the singles "Damage", "Homo Sapiens", "Waiting Game" and "Head". The album saw Fisher and Bellamy having a greater role in vocals, and featured fewer electronic influences than the previous album. The split and post-split work (2007–present) The band announced they had split up in late April 2007, following Fisher's decision to leave. The band had been due to headline the AKG Unsigned Heroes gig at London's KOKO in Camden later in the same week. During the week prior to the official split, the band had been scheduled to perform at Underworld and Dingwalls as part of the Camden Crawl. These two appearances were cancelled, however, with the band citing exhaustion as the reason. It is not clear whether the split was also a factor in the cancellations. A post was made on the band's website announcing the split. Tom Bellamy is currently a member of Losers and the live drummer for White Belt Yellow Tag. Daniel Fisher is currently the lead singer, songwriter and guitarist in Red Kite; their debut album, Songs For Crow, was released in November 2013. Ben Gautrey is currently lead singer and guitarist in Type Two Error with Kieran Mahon playing bass and synths. In January 2023, the band announced on Instagram that they were working on their first album. Mahon completed an undergraduate degree at Queen Mary, University of London, and is currently completing an architectural history MA at University College London. Jon Harper became a session drummer in the Brazilian band Cansei de Ser Sexy (CSS) when Adriano Cintra took the place of Iracema Trevisan as bassist, after she left in March 2008. In November 2009 Harper joined the Chris Corner (ex–Sneaker Pimps) project IAMX as a member of the live band for a session that lasted until July 2010. Harper is also a tutor and lecturer at the Bristol Institute of Modern Music. ==Members==
