Copyright (band)
Copyright was a Canadian alternative rock band, active in the 1990s. The band was launched by vocalist Thomas Anselmi and guitarist Christian Thorvaldson, former members of the short-lived and controversial punk rock band Slow, with new bassist Eric Marxsen and drummer Pete Bourne.[1]
The band was formed in 1988,[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 on 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 subsequently signed to BMG Music, releasing their second album Love Story in 1996 under the name Copyright.[5] 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.[7]
