ABOUT THIS ARTIST

Aunty-Folk from Manchester, UK.

“What a great sound!” John Kennedy, Radio X “I encourage you to submit yourself to this beautiful, and rare, kind of blessing.” Hive Magazine “exceedingly charming piece… puts the Manchester-based Adam Hopper and the Wimps on the map of Britain’s own fine jangle rock landscape.” Hard of Hearing “gentle, soft and dreamy throughout. The group produce such a joyous sound.” When The Horn Blows “So likeable and positive that you can’t help but smile” - Clunk

Formerly of now-defunct post-punk outfit Blanketman, Manchester’s Adam Hopper began performing solo in 2022, turning his hand to a sweeter, more wistful, and melodic brand of Anti-folk-tinged songwriting. Drawing inspiration from The Moldy Peaches, Belle and Sebastian and The Beautiful South, Hopper’s music now looked towards finding hope and fantasy in the everyday and seemingly benign - think video games, gardening or looking after his cat Pippa.

Forming The Wimps last year from friends and local musicians (Autocamper, The Accident Group), the newly assembled five-piece have since performed regularly across the cities and provincial towns of North West England. Their debut release, ‘Like Dancers Do / ‘Robin Hood’s Bay’ - released via Bingo Records - was marked by a sold-out debut headline show at Manchester’s Low Four Studios last month.
