You are a cog in the machine”

Hot Action Cop are a funky alternative rock band out of Nashville, Tennessee. Started in 2001 they have two long players under the bed. Their debut album Hot Action Cop (2003) was led by the single Fever For The Flava that became a soundtrack favorite and Sputnik Music said the band is “infamous for their funk-metal energy and copulation encouraging lyrics.” The men are good for a laugh and the music is the business.
