Moron Police is a three-piece Heavy Metal band from Norway. Formed in 2009, the band was originally a three-piece comedy metal band, with song titles such as "Stomp That Goomba," "Super Mega Awesome Couch," and "T-Bag Your Grandma."In 2019, after a five-year hiatus, the band released A Boat on the Sea, their third album, which took a more serious, Progressive Rock approach to the music, taking on themes of war and militarization. Their follow-up EP, The Stranger and the Hightide (2021), took on a more western approach to their sound, even bordering on Country Music.In January 2022, while working on their fourth full-length album, drummer Thore Pettersen passed away in a car accident. Nevertheless, in August of that year, the other members announced that they have continued working on the album.Members (Founding members in bold, current members in italic): Sondre Skollevoll - lead vocals, guitar, keyboards, Hammond organ, banjo, percussion (2009-present) Lars Bjørknes - keyboards, piano, Hammond organ, synthesizers, percussion (2015-present) Rune Stordahl - bass, unclean vocals (2009-2014) Christian Fredrik Holtsteen - bass (2014-present) Thore Omland Pettersen - drums (2009-his death, January 2022) Billy Rymer - drums (2022-present) | |

| Moron Police (Music) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Lyrically, A Boat on the Sea was far more serious than The Propaganda Machine and Defenders of the Small Yard, dealing with topics such as war and militarization. Lighter and Softer: ...On the other hand, musically, A Boat on the Sea was toned down from its two predecessors, with the distorted guitars pushed back in the mix and relying more on synths, strings, saxophones, and even accordion. | |

Man in a Kilt: During the band's early days, lead singer/guitarist Sondre Skollevoll and former bassist Rune Stordahl were known for wearing kilts on stage when performing, giving fans in the front rows quite the view. | |

New Sound Album | |
| Moron Police (Music) / int_22093e9b | comment |
New Sound Album: Taken up to eleven with A Boat on the Sea, which is barely even recognizable as the same band. Additionally, The Stranger and the Hightide is another stylistic departure, as it takes heavy influence from country and bluegrass music. | |

Bookends | |
| Moron Police (Music) / int_5313c266 | comment |
Book Ends: A Boat on the Sea begins and ends with similar lines at the beginning of the album intro, "Hocus Pocus," and the end of the final track, "Isn't It Easy!" respectively: On a related note, on those very lines, "Isn't It Easy!" uses the same chord progression as "Hocus Pocus." Even more, as "Isn't It Easy!" fades out, a piano playing the riff from "The Phantom Below," the first full-length song on the album. | |

Breather Episode | |
| Moron Police (Music) / int_80a247a9 | comment |
Breather Episode: On A Boat on the Sea, after four tracks about the war and politics, we get "The Dog Song," a more lighthearted song about being a dog. Musically, it uses fewer synthesizers and a more straightforward 4/4 rhythm, and is all around a well-deserved soft number in the middle of an overall heavy-hitting album. | |

Motor Mouth | |
| Moron Police (Music) / int_82518cf7 | comment |
Motor Mouth: Sondre Skollevoll speeds through a lot of the verses in the band's early music. Downplayed on A Boat on the Sea, where it's mostly only noticeable on "Beware the Blue Skies" and "Captain Awkward." | |

Genre Mashup | |
| Moron Police (Music) / int_cd3703a2 | comment |
Genre Mashup: The band's website aptly describes them as a "weird band." Their first album, The Propaganda Machine, is a mix of metal, funk, folk, and pop with comedy rock lyrics. Their sophomore effort, Defenders of the Small Yard, blends in influences of Progressive Metal and reggae. Their third album, A Boat on the Sea, is more serious and is heavily influenced by Progressive Rock and anime theme songs. | |

Word Salad Lyrics | |
| Moron Police (Music) / int_e18675e6 | comment |
Word Salad Lyrics: The verses of "Captain Awkward." Helped that they are sung at a fast speed and are barely comprehensible without lyric sheets. In general, most of the band's songs on their first two albums qualify as this. "Prepopherous (This Prepophery, I Will Not Have It)" is a notable example. | |
