Copper captures the metal and punk influence of their youth, using it to create a sound that sounds a little bit metal and a little bit punk. The Fragile Fall is a fun record to play air guitar and air drums to, as the riffs are heavy but the songs are economic with little musical wanking (no overblown guitar solos). For an unsigned band Copper has managed to do the almost impossible - securing a lot of radio play. "Turn" was the number one requested song for weeks at WNFZ in their hometown of Knoxville. That, more than anything is an indication of how easy Copper is on the ears.
