Get Disowned
The 2012 debut full-length from Philadelphia’s Hop Along, Get Disowned. Featuring “Tibetan Pop Stars,” which Mark Hoppus of Blink 182 called “the most painfully beautiful song ever.” "Their first album, 2012’s Get Disowned, is a messy world where people stomp on old floorboards for percussion and saw violins like they were made of something stronger than wood. Everything is governed by Quinlan, who sings in the wild voice of someone casting out demons (or having the demon cast out of them). Its second song, "Tibetan Pop Stars", should be etched in titanium and shot into outer space for safekeeping.” - Pitchfork “Hop Along’s first full-band full-length, Get Disowned was punk’s best kept secret. Critically overlooked but totally devastating, full of epic, unpredictably unfolding guitar songs with massive, quotable lyrics that wring you out emotionally and inspire the kind of furtive, conspiratorial devotion punks live for.” - Impose "nearly perfect... The album is notable for its folk-gone-indie-punk approach, coupled with massive choruses and Quinlan's personal, soul-crushing lyricism” - AV Club "one of the most devastatingly honest records I’ve heard in years." – Stereogum
It originally came out in 2012, but Hop Along's brilliant Get Disowned, now reissued, feels like it could’ve been the complicated, difficult follow-up to last year's Painted Shut.
A jagged course of punky indie rock, Get Disowned is the fiery debut of Philadelphia four-piece Hop Along.
