Hop Along Dubbed 'Best of 2015' by Rolling Stone & More

Following the release of Hop Along's critically acclaimed Painted Shut on May 5th via Saddle Creek, the record continues to garner national attention! In addition to being the featured guest on the latest USA Today "Dad Rock" Podcast, the band has become a staple on the mid-year "Best of 2015" lists, including Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, SPIN, NPR, Alternative Press, Stereogum, Paste, and VICE's Noisey

Today, the band reveals their "Drivers Pick The Music" Spotify Playlist curated over the course of their extensive U.S. tour in support of the new record. Each band member selected 6 songs for "Drivers Pick The Music". Can you figured out who picked each song?

Listen to the playlist here!

Painted Shut is available at the Saddle Creek Online Store, iTunes, Amazon and independent record stores everywhere. Captivating stories of desperation and weary awakening and fuzzed out grunge guitar riffs are playfully stitched together by charismatic frontwoman Frances Quinlan. Recorded and mixed by John Agnello (Kurt Vile, Dinosaur Jr. Sonic Youth) in Philadelphia and Brooklyn, Frances is joined by Mark Quinlan (drums), Tyler Long(bass) and Joe Reinhart (guitar) on Painted Shut. Revered for their electrifying live show, Hop Along is playing select dates this summer with additional dates to be announced!
