Title History
The group is named after a provision invented by British politician William Francis Cowper-Temple [1] , which allowed parents to abandon the religious education of their child. This position in the English-speaking environment is known as the "Cowper-Temple clause." “Cowper” and “Cooper” have a similar pronunciation close to / ˈkuːpər /.

- A cool hairstyle does not yet make a world-class star out of a musician. But it can significantly help attract attention to the beginning group. The six from the English Reading The Cooper Temple Clause is famous not only and not so much a mess on their heads, but a mess in the heads of its participants. “We play music that we wanted to hear from others, but we didn’t hear it,” says Ben Gotry, the vocalist of one of the most non-standard guitar bands in the UK. Therefore, they say, they decided to fill this gap on their own. Punk rock, metal, psychedelia, Britpop, jazz and so on are used: The Cooper Temple Clause is a real monster with six heads. Each pulls in its own direction, because it has its own personal ideas about what modern rock music should be. However, quarrels in the group are extremely rare. “We have known each other for a long time,” the musicians say. “We learned to respect the opinions of others and value each other.” Perhaps this is why the group does not have a leader - all participants make an equal contribution to songwriting. Moreover, each of the musicians owns several instruments at once, and if necessary, can replace his colleague. So the audience present at their concerts can often watch a real corps de ballet with hand-to-hand instrument transfer and participants moving from one workplace to another. Say what you like, this is impressive, because The Cooper Temple Clause is rightfully considered one of the best live bands Great Britain. And - most definitely - the most unpredictable.
