Such a great live show
by Kodiak on 7/12/19Rex Theater - PittsburghOnly bummer was Rex left the fans off so it was the rock show equivalent of hot yoga, and the sound was a little crunchy. But Hop Along was amazing

About
HOP ALONG IN CONCERT:
Indie rockers Hop Along play a melodic brand of freak folk with a hard-hitting grunge edge. At the band's live shows lead singer Frances Quinlan is sure to win over fans with her stunning vocal prowess, switching from a soft and dulcet sigh one moment to a raspy wail the next—often in the same phrase. Her powerhouse vocals, haunting lyrics, and punchy power chords set an emotional mood, and ticket buyers can’t help but be moved by the heart-rending sentiments of her powerful songs. Lead guitarist Joe Reinhart sculpts dynamic sonic landscapes on show-stopping numbers like “The Knock”, “Powerful Man”, and “Texas Funeral”, alternating between folksy fingerpicking and distortion-drenched soloing. Throw in driving drums, melodic basslines, and country-tinged harmonies and you've got a grunge folk sound that fully immerses audiences every time the band takes the stage.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
After playing music with her older brother for years, Philadelphia-native Frances Quinlan independently released the freak-folk album Freshman Year in 2005 as a solo artist under the cryptic moniker Hop Along, Queen Ansleis. The recording project grew into a duo when her other brother—drummer Mark Quinlan—joined in 2008, and the two began playing shows under the abbreviated name Hop Along. Bassist Tyler Long and guitarist extraordinaire Joe Reinhart joined the band for the recording of their debut album as a full unit, 2012’s Get Disowned. Their powerhouse performances on tour earned them a dedicated following, leading Reinhart to stay on with the band full time. Quinlan and company continue to thrill audiences with their singular grunge folk sound, both on stage and on acclaimed albums like 2015’s Painted Shut.

by Meesh on 4/16/19Neptune Theatre - SeattleWhile love is given to all of Hop Along, it is truly Francis Quinlan who steals the show every time. Her vocal presence is one that won't be ignored. I've seen Hop Along once or twice a year in Orlando for the past few and I am never disappointed. I travelled from Missoula to Seattle to see her, because I knew the performance would be kick ass. She did not disappoint and, in fact, I love her even more. So glad I experienced the show and I hope other enjoyed it as much!

Rating: 5 out of 5 Hop Along was spectacular!
by Cliffprints on 6/9/18Spirit Hall - PittsburghI've been a fan of hop along for about 6 years now and always missed them on tour for one reason or another until this time. They played an amazing show with great energy, played tons of old stuff as well as their new albums best tracks and kept the crowd fully engaged. Their openers both also did a great job at keeping the energy and crowd excited. All in all it was one of the best shows I've been to in ages and the door was worth the 6 year wait to see them live.
