The Mopes are a fine pop-punk offering from Berkeley's great Lookout! Records. Though the band members have mentioned that they don't want The Mopes to be considered in the light of their previous accomplishments, it's impossible to ignore their impressive lineage, including The Queers, Screeching Weasel, and The Riverdales. Yep, The Mopes are a veritable all-star band. Their songs are tuneful and tough, sometimes lovelorn and sometimes goofy, always very, very catchy.
