The setup isn’t democratic so much as it is simply adaptable and committed: doing what the song demands, getting the sound just right.
During a live show, the bandmates can be seen frequently swapping instruments and positions on stage. Three of the four members write and sing, each a frontman and a sideman simultaneously. The Indiana band craft hyper-melodic songs, built around power-pop chords, deceptively complex drum patterns, and rock-anthem sentiments that hide some tellingly dark thoughts. Since then, Hoops have released three cassette tapes and last year’s self-titled debut EP, and full-length debut Routines, a bittersweet and honest record that sounds both warmly familiar and jarringly distinctive. Fast forward to 2014, Hoops became a fully formed quartet. Eventually he corralled a few of his friends to flesh out his songs, and the music inevitably shifted toward something new: more melodic, more guitar-driven, more extroverted. Auscherman named the band after the hoop houses at the nursery where he worked (not for his home state’s mania for basketball). Rivers Cuomo the maladjusted, misanthropic mind behind the band. Hoops was born in frontman Drew Auscherman’s teenage bedroom as a solo ambient and beat-driven project à la Oneohtrix Point Never’s Replica. By all logic, Weezer ’s musical pileups should end up in a drawer somewhere. Weezers 2002 album 'Maladroit' may just be the most interesting one that Ive heard so far, having a much heavier sound than their other albums, as well as having quite the melancholic edge (compared to stuff after, Ive heard songs off 'Pinkerton' to know thats going to be a hell of a sad album) to it that makes a lot of.
