X-Cops was a side project comprised of ex-members from the band GWAR and
their extended "family" of musicians. Each member of X-Cops performed in
police uniforms and had various fictional personas. They released the album
You Have The Right To Remain Silent... on Metal Blade Records in 1995. The
album included a cover of Deep Purple's "Highway Star" (with different
lyrics, to reflect the theme of the album). In addition, they released a 7"
single of the songs "Junkie" (featuring the first released vocal
performance of GWAR/X-Cops guitarist Michael Derks) and "Beat You Down" on
Man's Ruin Records in 1996.
Peter Lee started this band as a joke; while filming a commercial segment
for GWAR's "Skulhedface," Lee asked Dave Brockie (the two were dressed as
police officers), "What would be cooler than a bunch of cops playing
kick-ass rock and roll?" Then, Lee, Brockie and GWAR's drum technician,
Mike Dunn, started X-Cops as a three-piece band
