We’re delighted to be helping Adam Hopper & The Wimps launch their new EP – with special guests Mt. Misery!

On 30 May 2025, you are all invited to The Castle Hotel, to join Adam Hopper & The Wimps in celebrating the release of their debut EP, Remember to Have Fun – out 8 May on Bingo Records. New merch and cassettes will be available to purchase on the evening! We can’t wait to see you there.

Adam Hopper & The Wimps have more hooks than a fisherman’s tackle box. Forged in the box room of a Ladybarn terraced house and honed in the pub back rooms and small venues of Manchester and the North of England. Adam Hopper & his Wimps provide anti-folk tinged songwriting, equal parts heartwarming and heartbreaking. During 2024 the band released a string of singles via Sheffield cult label Bingo Records, and are set to release their debut EP in May 2025.

‘What a great sound!’ – John Kennedy, Radio X

‘Exceedingly charming… puts the Manchester-based Adam Hopper & The Wimps on the map of Britain’s own fine jangle rock landscape’ – Hard of Hearing

Special guests are Mt. Misery. Indie-rock from the north east of England – FFO Teenage Fanclub, Big Star, Alvvays. Their new album Love In Mind is out now on Prefect Records.
