Local indie group The Saps are back for North Center’s Ribfest this summer with their new album Easy on the Heart, Tough on the Lip in tow. They haven’t lost a step since their big 2007 release C’mon Already – Start a Fire, a friendly rock jaunt with bratty punk attitude that made a name for the band in local rock circles. In “Big Nothing” (off of Easy), they proclaim “Your big nothing is something now.” In the meantime, “Mistreat Me” is a treatise on relationships and going to the depths of desperation in order to keep someone around — something that’s relatable to lot of people. Not that we’re speaking from personal experience or anything.
