The following is a mini interview of generic questions that we posed to all bands that wanted to answer:

Pittsburgh, PA
Pop-Punk, Fun
myspace (http://www.myspace.com/goodcopbearcop)
1. How did you get your band name?
We actually saw a bearcop. Giant grizzly, badge and all.
2. How did this band get started?
One day, Jack randomly texted Matt asking if he wanted to write an epic song. Matt then asked me (Mick) to join and bang, we wrote and recorded in three days.
3. What bands are you influenced by?
Boys Night Out, Four Year Strong, The Wonder Years, Say Anything, Fall Out Boy, You Me and Everyone We Know, Protest The Hero, Before Today
4. If you could tour with any bands, past or present, who would it be and why?
Midtown, The Movie Life, Beat It Era-Michael Jackson, Before Today before they were Pierce The Veil.
5. If you were a furry, what animal would you be? Why that animal?
Bear, for obvious reasons.
6. Why should people listen to your band?
Mick: It's a good party jam
Matt: Our music is divine-transcendent by nature, ethereal by design, our immense talent in each area of composition blends together into a hymn so utterly sublime that it reaches the zenith of symphonic excellence, so pure that the breathless voices of angels caress each melody and harmonize in incorporeal majesty, dripping providence and exuding perfection in every note.
7. If you were chosen to be in Guitar Hero/Rock Band, what song would you want in the game? How hard do you think it would be to five-star on expert?
Three's Company, Four's a Gang! It wouldn't be technically hard, though it'd be one of those songs that are fun to play and rock out.
8. If you won a Grammy, who would you thank?
John Belushi, Demetri Martin, Bill Murray, Alex Bruce, George Washington
9. If you could change something about the music industry, what would it be?
CD's less expensive, to free. We give away our shit for free.
10. Memorable tour experience?
None yet, but during sessions Jack gets calls from creepy stalkers in Minnesota all the time. We still don't know who it is.
11. What does AP.net mean to you?
A good news source with hilarious haters.
12. What is your favorite song to play?
Three's Company, Four's A Gang!
13. What is your vacation spot of choice?
Alaska.
14. What music reminds you of your childhood?
Saves The Day, The Starting Line, Bluegrass, New Found Glory
15. If you could have any super power, what would it be? Why?
Lazer Eyes. You could melt shit with your eyes. Game on!
16. Do you feel that your band has "made it"?
Once we get a girl singer and sign to Fueled By Ramen, then we made it.
17. What is something that most fans don't know about you?
Matt is actually 7 feet tall. Matt and Jack met at modeling camp.
18. What's your favorite holiday?
Christmas. You get shit.
19. What do you like to do in your spare time?
Party. Research Wikipedia
20. What kind of hidden talents do you have?
Mick and Matt can drink a shitload. Like, enough to kill someone. Jack is lightning
