The Cooper Temple Clause were a British alternative rock band that burned bright in the early 2000s with their chaotic blend of post-punk energy, electronic experimentation, and festival-sized choruses. Formed in Reading in 1998, the six-piece became known for their frenetic live shows and genre-splicing sound, landing somewhere between The Prodigy's adrenaline and Radiohead's art-rock ambition. Their 2002 debut *See This Through and Leave* and 2003 follow-up *Kick Up the Fire, and Let the Flames Break Loose* cemented their reputation as one of Britain's most exciting live acts, while 2007's *Make This Your Own* saw them push toward darker, more synth-driven territory. Despite critical acclaim and a devoted following, the band called it quits later that year, leaving behind three albums that still sound like a musical time capsule of UK rock's adventurous early-2000s spirit.
