Copyright (band)

Copyright, originally spelled ©, was a Canadian alternative rock band, active in the 1990s and early 2000s.

History

The band was launched by vocalist Thomas Anselmi and guitarist Christian Thorvaldson, former members of the short-lived and controversial punk rock band Slow,^[1] with new bassist Eric Marxsen and drummer Pete Bourne. The band was formed in 1987,^[2] when Anselmi and Thorvaldson settled on that name after having collaborated under the short-lived band names Mo and Christian Thorvaldson's Freeze-Dried Dog since the demise of Slow.^[2]

Initially, the band spelled its name as the symbol ©, pronounced as "Circle C".^[3] Under that name, they released a self-titled debut album via Geffen Records in 1991.^[4] That album sold poorly, and the band was dropped from Geffen.

After a few years of struggling to continue in the music industry, they were signed to BMG Music, releasing their second album Love Story in 1996 under the name Copyright.^[5] The singles "Transfiguration" and "Radio" were released from that album. Love Story was a shortlisted Juno Award nominee for Best Alternative Album at the Juno Awards of 1998.^[6]

The album The Hidden World followed in 2001, with the song "Rock Machine" being released as a single. The band disbanded not long after.^[7]
