Hop Along‘s new album Bark Your Head Off, Dog was just released via Saddle Creek. They will bring their dynamic, powerhouse live shows to stages across the nation starting on May 1 and have just announced an extensive leg of additional U.S. summer tour dates which go on sale this Friday, April 27. Full list of tour dates below and here.
Self-produced and recorded at The Headroom in Philadelphia by Reinhart and Kyle Pulley, the formidable nine-song collection is the band’s strongest and most cohesive album to date. Crafted by Frances Quinlan (songwriter, lead vocalist, and rhythm guitarist), Tyler Long (bass), Joe Reinhart (guitar), and Mark Quinlan (drums), the album considers what it’s like to cast off longheld and misguided perceptions, yet without the assurance of knowing what new ones will replace them.
