Hot Action Cop is an American rock band. Rob Werthner (singer/songwriter/guitarist) formed the band in 2001 with bassist Luis Espaillat, drummer Kory Knipp and Louisville, KY guitarist Tim Flaherty, and added keyboardist Daniel Feese prior to the 2002-2003 tour. Long Island, NY native Werthner cites musical influences including Red Hot Chili Peppers, Faith No More, New York hardcore, Southern Hip-Hop, Punk, Metal, Reggae, and songwriters like Billy Joel.
The band's name came from the nickname that Werther and his friends gave his ex-girlfriend's new boyfriend in the '90s. He was an NYPD officer with a 1970's parted and feathered hairstyle. When they saw him they'd say, "here comes the hot action cop."
