Before Hop Along became one of the most fiercely beloved bands in indie rock, bandleader Frances Quinlan started the project as a solo venture under the name Hop Along, Queen Ansleis. As far as most listeners (and the archivists at Discogs) knew, Quinlan only released one record under that original moniker, 2005’s Freshman Year. But a little-known Hop Along, Queen Ansleis EP from even earlier called Sympathetic Flypaper has long been a holy grail for hardcore Hop Along fans and lost media searchers. That EP has now been unearthed.
