Hop Along's drummer is stepping out on their own, and the move feels earned. An Exchange of Information will be the very first release on Feral Twin Records, a new label built from scratch by someone who has spent years locking in the rhythm behind Frances Quinlan's voice.
If you have loved Hop Along since Get Disowned back in 2012, you know how much muscle the drums bring to those songs. Think of the way "Waitress" swings, or how "Not Abel" barrels forward without warning. That same instinct now gets its own home.
Feral Twin arrives as a proper launchpad, not a side project. A new label means new artists, new signings, new records to obsess over down the line. An Exchange of Information sets the tone.
The indie world is packed with musicians branching into label work, and this one carries real pedigree. This is a drummer betting on the long game. Keep your eyes on Feral Twin. This could be the start of something big.
