After a jarring day of pomp, protests, and "Revolutionary Wear", Troop Groop offered up their own form of resistance with a rush-to-release single entitled "Mean People Suck". In a Facebook post made on Inauguration Day, the band described the track as an early demo, which is "a ways off from being complete." On the band's SoundCloud page, they note further that it is a raw track, with all blemishes left in place. "We felt it important that we post the early version of the song, on Inauguration Day, to let people know how we feel about the situation. We really needed to channel our feelings into our own form of art that we think most reasonable people can relate to," said Dave, following the release of the track. Jay added, "Its unedited; its unredacted. This is GOLD!" The song is performed as spoken-word, harkening back to the early days of the band which made them famous with songs like "Kermit The Fribble". The artwork features an obscured image of top presidential advisor, KellyAnne Conway. Although she is not specifically mentioned in the song, she is rumored to be described by the band as, "a hack." In less than 24 hours of the song being posted, "Mean People Suck" has quickly risen to become the band's third most popular track on SoundCloud, coming in behind "Nuclear Betty Ford" and "I'll Light A Match To You (TMC Remix). The band intends to release a more polished version of the song in the near future. The White House could not be reached for comment. |
