Interview with Robert Anton Wilson by Fly Agaric 23 fom 10th September 2002 published in Maybe Quarterly Vol 3 Issue 3 Autumn 2006

Born out of Leuven-Belgium’s activist squatting scene in 2004, Cop On Fire have been putting up festive foundations of pumping drums and sub-bass dub supporting their local scene. Local in this case is as global as a good part of Europe as C.O.F. toured between Scotland and Slovakia, though never playing Kortessem. Consisting of 4 people who have a heart for dub, ska, punk and protest-songs alike, C.O.F. uses these influences to recreate feelings from daily life: sticking it to The Man, taking a stand for Mother Earth, opening the bin for bigoted morality and xenophobia of all kinds…Oh, and we don’t like cops. Reclaim The Streets, opening autonomous social centres, Antifascist Action, sustainable living, … action backed up by the flow of drum and bass, a guitar crossing musical boundaries all thrown in a mix of effects and echoes from the underbelly of society – the samples. DIY has been more than a label to the band as we've played just about anywhere
