Hedge Reveal “Freeze Frame High Five” EP

Worcester, MA’s Hedge play pop-punk (no, not that kind) that trades sleek and polished for gritty and raw, taking cues from bands like Hüsker Dü, Superchunk, and The Lemonheads. Their 2024 debut album, Better Days, delivered 11 speedy power-pop songs built on loud, distorted guitars, and irresistibly catchy vocal melodies. On their brand new EP, Freeze Frame High Five, Hedge have stuck to the golden rule of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” blasting through five originals and a Guided By Voices cover in under ten minutes.

Freeze Frame High Five is now available via Best Brother Records, the EP captures Hedge at their most immediate and exciting, proving that urgency, volume, and infectiously catchy choruses still beat polish and pretense every time.
