"XCPR" is the infectious, short and sharp first release from the young sextet Hoop Dreams. The band hails from Blacksburg, Virginia, and features Max Brooks (vocals) and Jeff Haley (guitar / ex-Wild Nothing), Tommy Davidson (bass / Dream Cop), Jordan Mrazik (guitar), Julie Shepherd (violin), and Marcus McDonald (drums). Hoop Dreams are signed to Brooklyn label Captured Tracks, and a full LP is in the works for a release in early 2012.
If you are in NY, you can catch Hoop Dreams on 12 November at Glasslands Gallery.
