Preview – Hopscotch 2019

2019 edition of Hopscotch Music Festival is kicking off tomorrow and we couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate than through a video playlist.
Now its not just another playlist, but a very special one, since we wanted to highlight lesser-known bands/artists on the bill whose songs, videos and live performances we happened to like. Think everything from free jazz to noise/punk/garage rock to hip-hop/R&B and you might have an idea of what Hopscotch is all about (the keyword is “diversity”).
Extra shout out (and a hug) goes to our friend and associate Teenage Riot TV who currently fights a severe case of cabin fever in Raleigh. Follow his Twitter account to learn more about his adventures and dealings with hurricane Dorian.
Now, back onto the subject at hand…
