| Band: The Moops Location: Columbus, OH Album: Smells like the Moops Genre: Rock / Alternative Track Picks: “Too Cool For You,” “Football and Liquor” Lowdown: This one of a kind band brings the templates of early The Replacements with an unexpected mix of country-western. Appropriate to perform in a saloon while patrons drink and are engaged with the tunes, all without the knowledge that the band on stage is in fact mocking everything the drinker’s support and represent. Compared to the Moops’ 2006 release of Dressed For Failure, this full album is less naïve, blunter and more likely to stir controversy with lines like: “turn them into sissy queers” and “I’m god’s gift to women, one hell of a man.” Overall, more western soul influenced with a punk-like carefree attitude toward vulgar word choice. The final 11-minute track “Dead Rabbit” showcases the impressive engaging rock-and-roll instrumental abilities of the highly professional public relations band.
