back in 2000 produced by the former manager

market through the internet. 8 Always been the
Same, a song from the self-titled independent
album shot to the number 27th spot in the Top
40 International Pop Charts of MP3.Com a couple
of years ago. 9 they were also featured one
time at Death Threats, an international zine
site that features mostly independent artists
in the U.S. 10 the band released their first
mainstream album, COPPERPOPTHRILL, "Have
An Agnus Day" late 2003, and is still available
at all major record bars around the country.
11 The independently-produced album was distributed
by GALAXY RECORDS. 12 despite the hard times
in the local music industry, C.P.T. continues
with undying passion to play their own brand
of music.
