GWAR side project and their extended "family" of musicians returns after 25 year hiatus to tours with GWAR and CKY


The notorious X-COPS, the original Bad Boys of Law Enforcement, are back with a vengeance, ready to deliver their unique brand of heavy metal and a stern message to the world: "Respect authority, or else!"



After a hiatus of over 25 years, the X-COPS have hit the road once again, embarking on a tour with none other than GWAR and Cancer Bats. But that's not all - today, they've announced additional spring dates supporting CKY, making their presence felt from Orlando, FL, to Baltimore, MD.


X-COPS are gearing up to kick off their tour on May 3rd in Orlando, FL, and will be blazing a trail through various cities until May 9th, culminating in Baltimore, MD. With more dates expected to be added soon, fans across the nation can anticipate the return of these uniformed enforcers of heavy metal justice.


Commenting on the upcoming tour dates, X-Lt. Louie Scrapinetti exclaimed, "It's been over 25 years since we last hit the highway, and looking at that scum that's been showing up to our shows, one thing is clear: the world has never needed the X-COPS more!"


Adding to the excitement, X-Sheriff Tubb Tucker stated, "Now that the statute of limitations has expired, we’re happier than a pig in shit to be back out on the road again. With this new trend of authoritarianism sweeping through the country, we are ready to get back to cracking skulls with full immunity!"


However, it seems not all is smooth sailing as X-Sgt Al DePansia asks, "Has anyone seen my gun?" showcasing the chaotic nature of these law enforcement renegades.


Rumors have swirled about the true identities of these uniformed thugs, with speculation ranging from members of legendary bands such as GWAR, Rigor Mortis, and Darkest Hour. However, the truth is just as wild - they are former police officers who have joined forces to spread their unique brand of justice and metal across the globe.


X-COPS' lineup includes X-Sheriff Tubb Tucker on vocals, X-Sgt Al DePansia on guitar and vocals, X-Lt. Louie Scrapinetti on guitar and vocals, X-Officer Ed Banger on bass, X-Inmate #8048675309 on drums, X-Bike Cop Biff Buff on vocals, and X Agent Zypygski, the "Zipper Pig," on vocals.


With their return, X-COPS promise to deliver an unforgettable experience that combines heavy metal mayhem with a powerful message. Stay tuned for more updates on X-COPS, including news about new music and additional tour dates!
