BOSSY will be switching it up this Friday and playing a stripped down set. Aural Wes is excited to hear how the band, who usually plays music that is "scrappy and full of regret," translates their sound into something a little bit softer.

Hop Along (+ Girltype Behaviors, Hex Grrls & Floor VVeed)
Music House // Saturday 9:30PM
Hop Along are an indie-folk rock band described by Noisey as Philly's "best kept secret." Comprised of Frances Quinlan, Mark Quinlan, Tyler Long, and Joe Reinhart, Hop Along combines the energy of punk with ornate, otherworldly indie. The vocals of Lead Singer, Frances Quinlan, echo the style of grown-up basement rock.
Their sophomore album, Painted Shut, received critical acclaim and made the list of several publications for being one of the best albums of 2015. Shortly after their 2012 release, Get Disowned, was selected by Pitchfork as best new reissue. Now the band makes their way to Wesleyan before touring with Conor Oberst this summer.
Opening for Hop Along is Girltype Behaviors, a band that plays snack punk inspired by root vegetables. They combine loads of guitar sounds with sublayers of synth to create cool rock.
Hex Grrls are a SmASh MouTH cover band that plays angry girl rock. Think punky funky bass, moody drums, and annoyed vocals. You can probably relate
FloorVVeed are an alt punkish band from somewhere near Oberlin, Ohio. They write about washers and dryers and crushes, and their lead singer likes to sport crop tops. They recently opened for Lisa Prank and are about to release an EP
