9. Hop Along
lo-fi/indie/folk-rock
Another case of me getting excited quickly there seems to be a pattern forming as I first heard these in the car of the friend who told me to listen to Tall Ships, it was a mix CD or some kind of promotional compilation that also had a Tall Ships track on it, actually; I know, these stories are just too exciting, right? So, yeah, as it played through a track by these came on, it struck me, to the sleeve I went and found the bands name, one for the next feature I thought. The three piece initially started life as an acoustic, solo-project by Frances Quinlan called Hop Along, Queen Ansleis. With the addition of Frances drummer bother Mark Quinlan and bassist Dominic Angella, the name was shortened and the band came to release a full length album in the shape of Get Disowned. An album full of lo-fi, indie with a real folk-rock undertone and pop sensibilities. Tibetan Pop Stars was the song that caught my attention on that CD. http://youtu.be/JwWM8FL22S0
