Mopar Stars popped up in the summer of 2023 with their 4 song tape "Shoot the Moon" and it blew me away. Then I saw them live a few months later and was even more blown away. They're a band that seems so familiar but you can't quite pin point what it sounds like. It's a witches brew of power pop ballads, mid 90's slacker stoner rock, and bits and nods to beloved classics like Bob Mould (Husker Du/Sugar), Teenage Fanclub, Big Star and 70's stadium guitar god noodling. members of: Poison Ruin, Zorn, Sheer Mag, Positronix
Featuring Nao Demand (Poison Ruin) as well as scene stalwarts Bill Mangerr, Evan Campbell (Sheer Mag) and bassist Nneka Anyaoku . Recorded by Trish Quigley at Studio North. Mixed by Trish Quigley. Mastered by Amy Dragon.
