Hop Along - Tibetan Pop Stars (Get Disowned, 2012)

My love is average, I obey an average law

This is genuinely one of the best songs, and best albums, I’ve heard in so long. So happy that I get to see them tomorrow night, in a tiny venue, FOR FREE.

London show on Wednesday! And it’s free. You London guys are sure gonna be bummed out when we try and charge for entry to a show…

We’re playing with Vasco De Gama from Liverpool and Bermuda Ern from Brighton. It shall be quite the treat for your earholes.

Probably our last show for a while because we have been exiled from the UK due to tax issues. We’re heading to the picturesque South of France to write an album and take drugs.

Album Review: Hop Along - Get Disowned

Tue, 09 Apr 2013 22:37:55 +0100

already-heardmusic:

I want to pre-fix this entire review by saying, if you’re yet to listen to Hop Along you’re missing out on your new favourite band. Hop Along is Frances Quinlan, Mark Quinlan, and Tyler Long, who are all residents of one of my favourite musical places, Philadelphia. ‘Get Disowned’ was written over the course of 2 years and is their first full length release, and it was entirely worth the wait. Released on Hot Green Records in the US and getting a release over here on Big Scary Monsters Records, it’s now easier than ever to get involved in this band.

The record is 10 tracks at 40 minutes long but it doesn’t feel like that kind of length and in my eyes, that’s a positive. When you can get completely lost in a record to only realise you’ve finished the album before it began is something unique and doesn’t happen anywhere near as much as I wish it would. It’s obvious from the start that the guiding force behind this band are Frances’ vocals which lapse between vulnerable and gritty growls filled with raw emotion. I think the emotion of the record maintains itself throughout and never falters leaving you attached to every song as if it were one of your own writing.

Heilewelt - a blog for music lovers: Tall Ships are on tour. :

heilewelt:

A couple of month ago I told you to go to a Nada Surf concert in order to see their support act Tall Ships*. I hope everyone followed this advice (if they were anywhere near you). Now they are coming back to mainland Europe for some shows on their own. And once more I just want to tell you to go…

bodjangles:

i got home from school a little while ago and found a package on the counter with my name on it

i wasn’t expecting any packages. i thought maybe magan had gone insane and sent me a django django cd.

i opened it to find the tall ships album i had forgotten that i’d bought

this is the best surprise i’ve ever gotten

the first photo is me right before i put it on. the second photo is me halfway through the first song.

i love tall ships

so

much

everyone knows we are scientists is my #1 main band forever and always, but…there’s just something about tall ships. every song is beautiful. that word can literally describe any tall ships song at any moment. listening to was alone has never made me cry, but tall ships…i have been on the verge of tears ever since i put this album on.

if you haven’t listened to tall ships already…go do so. you will be doing yourself a huge favor.
