Evil Cowards was born in New York City during the summer of 2008 by Tyler Spencer (of Electric Six) and William Bates (of Fall On Your Sword). The duo created their debut, Covered In Gas, at Bates' Tribeca studio by working at a pace of their choosing. Unafraid to make songs that are catchy, repetitive, and formulaic (because they get stuck in your head), Evil Cowards collaborated because they had something to say. Their first track came into being as the infectious album opener “Love Pigs” and on the spot the two knew that they were on the right track. Several more months of labor intensive sessions ensued, and finally the debut was finished. Every song on Covered In Gas is catchy while bathing in the majesty William Bates' unique production. The band's live performances over the 2009 summer promise to be as entertaining as the record itself. Choreography, nudity, live animals, prosthetic limbs – all these things will be featured in the Evil Cowards live show. Evil Cowards are here to stay.
