Story: Ralph Greco, Jr.

After 25 years of laying low, the original Bad Boys of Law Enforcement, X-COPS, are officially back and ready to storm the streets of America! Known for crushing riffs and satirical, no-holds-barred lyrics, X-COPS has returned with a mission: to bring their heavy metal law enforcement to the masses and spread the word: “All Cops Are Beautiful!”

Ready to unleash mayhem with a live show as unhinged as their music, X-COPS will be storming the streets once again! Expect a brutal onslaught of heavy metal anthems, and scathing satire, alongside a relentless barrage of raw, in-your-face energy. With support from Belushi Speedball and U.S. Bastards, this tour is set to be a riotous display of controlled chaos, guaranteed to leave you battered and begging for more. Dates begin January 8th in Richmond, VA, and run through January 25th in New York, NY. See the complete list below. Tickets go on sale at 10:00 AM Local Time this Friday.

“X-COPS are hitting the road, and we’re locked and loaded to raid all the local marijuana dispensaries in cities across the US, what… wait… weed is legal? I told you guys to stick to crack houses.” — X-Bike Cop Biff Buff

Fans can expect an explosive setlist featuring new tracks like “We’re the Pigs” and “Light ‘Em Up,” alongside classics that have kept their loyal following on edge for decades. Rumors of the band’s true identities persist, with whispers that they’re made up of members from legendary acts like GWAR and Rigor Mortis.

About Pit Records:

The collective of visual artists, musicians, and performers behind the iconic shock rock band GWAR launched Pit Records in 2019. GWAR is known for gory and satirical rock-n-roll theater rooted in the DIY ethos of punk rock and the blood-soaked humor and allegory of horror, science fiction, comic books, and professional wrestling. Pit Records is the next major step in building a gloriously perverse universe where GWAR resides alongside all the super-cool characters, projects, and products of the Slave Pit imagination.
