Western Massachusetts trio Hedge is back, announce the release of a new 6-song EP called Freeze Frame High Five, out on Feb. 27 via Best Brother Records.
The band released their debut, Better Days, in 2024 and play pop-punk influenced heavily by melodic '90s alt-rock.
The first single is "Hey Dude," which "is about the unique intricacies of growing up and how they shape later life. For some, it’s cultural or based in tradition; but for me, it was my dad introducing me to Dinosaur Jr. and me declaring them as my permanent full-time favorite band at the age of 8. It’s about appreciating their existence and their continued willingness to rock, thus serving as a reminder to continue rocking despite being “older, greyer, larger”. I also mention other elder local favorites, Buffalo Tom and The Lemonheads, for good measure," says guitarist/vocalist/ Christopher Chaisson (formerly of The Young Leaves).
