Up in Oakland, CA resides Colin Frost, a longtime MNE comrade but only a recent GP staple. He caught our attention last year with his contagious “I can be a rock staaaar” hook (which still gets stuck in my head monthly) and has returned this year with the sneaky left hand hook of “After Again”. Between the cool production, the lovable vocals, and lines like “a rotten double helix twist” Hooplah has proved they are certainly not a GP one-hit-wonder!!!
