Troop Groop has always been a bit of a quirky, "do-it-yourself" sort of band, who made novelty pop songs out of everything from Casio keyboards to home recordings of a barking dog, which, incidentally, came long before Casio ever added a barking dog sample to one of their sampling keyboards in the 1980's. The band bubbled in the underground of college scene in Connecticut for about five years before disbanding in 1991, or at least so we thought. As of last week they are back with a new, idiosyncratic single entitled Nuclear Betty Ford, an homage to the late and great First Lady, and is also a bit of a send-up to their signature style. It's MUCH more polished than any of their previous work, though it's not pop perfection by any means, it's fun. There has been no formal statement from the band about any new material, i.e. a forthcoming album or EP, but we hope this is a sign that we have more to look forward to from Troop Groop.
