"’How Simple’ is easily one of Hop Along’s poppiest moments, and as the two parties at the center of the song try to make sense of their confused situation, the answer comes in a glorious gang vocal you can’t help but sing along to: "Don’t worry, we will both find out, just not together."" – NPR

Philadelphia’s Hop Along will release their third studio album, Bark Your Head Off, Dog, on April 6th! We’re excited to share with you the first single, "How Simple."
Bark Your Head Off, Dog

The formidable 9-song collection is the band’s strongest and most cohesive album to date. Crafted by Frances Quinlan (songwriter, lead vocalist, and rhythm guitarist), Tyler Long (bass), Joe Reinhart (guitar), and Mark Quinlan (drums), the album considers what it’s like to cast off longheld and misguided perceptions, yet without the assurance of knowing what new ones will replace them.

On album opener, "How Simple," Quinlan wrangles with what it’s like to learn about yourself—which can get ugly. Quinlan explains, "People romanticize the idea of finding themselves, but when they do, at least in my experience, it can be really difficult. You see how you fail others and how others fail you." Offering fans a classic dose of Hop Along’s searing songwriting and unabashed honesty, lead album track "How Simple" is going for adds on 2/5.
