- No-wave, weirdo hardcore, free punk.
Mars
by Alpha Hopper
Hi. ALPHA HOPPER here. We make a kind of guitar-driven rock'n'roll punk that comes off as weirdo no-wave wanna be hardcore. A dark wall of sound punctuated by catchy, cryptic vocals. Intense but still fun. Check out our 2nd LP "Aloha Hopper" out June 22nd

HAVE A LISTEN
Our verdict
If you miss old skool 90s math rock and noise rock like The Jesus Lizard, Unwound, and Drive Like Jehu, then you may well want to listen to Alpha Hopper, whose sound can transport you back to that time and scene. The band really stood out to us when we heard it, and we hope they have that effect on you too.

For fans of
INNADAZE
We are INNADAZE from Bradford in the UK. Our sound is sometimes bleak, but realistic moods with a collision of thick fuzzy guitar riffs, that draws from hardcore blister, dream punk and raucous cusp-of-90s grunge & indie rock.
