Listen to all of Copy & Destroy by the Copy Scams

I got too excited as I was working on the zine that goes with the 10" record so I thought I would share the whole album filled with all the songs about zines! (minus the bonus live tracks)

If you like it, we'd love it if you pre-ordered the 10" record that comes with a zines AND a digital download code. We'd also like to know what you thought of this weird little project!

You can pre-order it on Etsy or On the Portland Button Works site $10 plus shipping!

"The Copy Scams are a the band equivalent to a 24 hour zine! Steve was visiting Portland from the UK and thought it might be fun to start a band while he was in the US. While he was in Portland he lived in a closet in the basement of the Spiral house and tricked housemates Alex, Paul and Marc to form a band in three weeks before the 2010 Portland Zine Symposium. The decided to be a zine themed bank and In those three weeks they wrote 4 songs about zines, practiced, made a lo-fi recording, then played a show to end the Portland Zine Symposium weekend. Giz missed the show because he had to fly back to France so he convinced them they needed him as a second guitarist and that they needed to do a UK tour. Steve wrote more riffs and 3 more songs were written with the help of the internet. In the autumn of 2012 Alex, Paul, and Marc flew over to the UK from the US and Giz came over from France where they sorted out the new songs and recorded them and re-recorded the old ones then played a couple shows before going their separate ways again. What you have here is 7 fun pop-punk songs about zines by folks who make and love zines."
