The third outing from the ex-
Cross Canadian Ragweed bandleader's rough and tumble
Departed project,
Hippielovepunk offers up a big, roomy set of guitar-driven, Southern rock confections that retain the engaging, hook-driven commercial appeal of his prior group while injecting a bit more sonic muscle into the mix. The first
Departed outing not to feature the guitar and vocal charms of co-founder
Seth James, who left the group amicably in 2013, the album feature 11 tracks, including the first radio-ready single, "Inbetweener."
