Adam Hopper & The Wimps announce debut EP: ‘Remember To Have Fun’
Adam Hopper & The Wimps announce debut EP: ‘Remember To Have Fun’ Marking the news of long-awaited debut EP Remember To Have Fun – due 9th May – and a series of tour dates this spring (including an intimate hometown show at Manchester’s Castle Hotel) Adam Hopper & The Wimps share cruising, 60’s garage-inspired cut ‘My Friend Al’ 22 March 2025 By Isaac phelan Currently Listening to: Remember to Have Fun by Adam Hopper & The Wimps Their latest entry bursts to life with jangly guitars, swirling harmonica, and a buoyant rhythm section that channels the carefree charm of a bygone era. Drawing fond comparisons to the seminal Nuggets compilation, the track feels warm and familiar yet distinctly modern. Fuzzed-out guitar licks and playful vocal harmonies mark out a lo-fi aesthetic, revealing a cozy intimacy that wraps itself around Hopper’s earnest, wistful narrative. The lyrics celebrate the simplicity of adolescence — lazy afternoons spent at Blockbuster Video, aimless walks down country lanes and marathon gaming sessions. The song’s conversational tone lends an effortless grace; it’s less a traditional indie anthem and more a fond retelling of golden memories. Offering more on the single, Adam says: “From the years 2007 – 2010 my friends and I spent every single Saturday meeting at the Blockbuster Videos in Great Driffield on the corner of George Street and Middle Street South at 11am/12pm. We would spend a while looking at the computer games, then go to Cooplands bakery for 4 sausage rolls. After this, we would go back to mine and play Halo 3 for at least 5 hours. My Friend Al is a dedication to that time and my friend Alex.” The production is deliberately unfussy. Guitar riffs dart between breezy strums and sharper, twangy licks, while the harmonica injects bursts of brightness. The result is a sound that feels equally at home in a sweaty pub gig or drifting from a vintage record player. Hopper’s laid-back vocal delivery exudes warmth, combining gentle crooning with moments of spirited urgency. His northern charm is woven into every line, giving the song a deeply personal touch. The harmonies, loose and unpolished, reinforce the nostalgic tone — like a memory retold with affectionate exaggeration. “My Friend Al” is an anthem of memory, friendship, and the innocence of childhood. By embracing those minute details of youthful routine, of a life lived fully, Hopper uncovers a deeper sentiment: the quiet comfort of reliable friendships and shared rituals. Deep down, we all want a friend like Al. You might also like ˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗ Recent Posts ⋆⭒˚.⋆
