Hop Along has released the epic album closer “Prior Things” today, ahead of the April 6 release of their new album Bark Your Head Off, Dog via Saddle Creek.
This comes after a triumphant SXSW, where the band debuted several new songs to enraptured fans. Following lead single “How Simple” and dynamic album cut “Not Abel,” “Prior Things” explores the bitter triumph of a relationship that never comes to be.
