Painted Shut

The first 10 CDS and First LPS are signed by the band. Philadelphia-based band Hop Along get their national breakout moment with 'Painted Shut', their second full-length and first for Saddle Creek Records. Hop Along's power rests squarely on the talents of lead singer and writer Frances Quinlan. Her voice is huge: urgent, dynamic, sometimes harsh but undeniably intense. It sits somewhere between Bettie Serveert and Alison Mosshart - Discount era. They are currently on tour in the States with War on Drugs and the album was produced by John Agnello, who's work with Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr, Kurt Vile, Cymbals Eat Guitars and others makes him a great fit for Hop Along.LP - With Download.
