Adam Hopper

Come and celebrate the release of Adam Hopper & the Wimps' debut self-titled album! On September 25th, Adam Hopper & the Wimps release their debut self-titled album on Sheffield's Bingo Records. The album will be available to purchase on limited edition vinyl. Adam and the band head out on tour in November to promote the album including two hometown headlines at Manchester's Gullivers and Sheffield's Delicious Clam, where the album was recorded. Forged in the box room of a Ladybarn terraced house and honed in the pub back rooms, rehearsal spaces and grassroots venues of the North of England. Adam Hopper & the Wimps provide anti-folk tinged songwriting, equal parts heartwarming and heartbreaking. 2026 sees them release their debut album and head out on tour. Steadily building on a catalogue rich in disarmingly honest, open-hearted lyricism, the band uses its debut long player "Adam Hopper & the Wimps" to set out the stall for what it has become over years of refinement on the stage and in the practice room. A tight band of tightly knit friends using their music to unravel the complexities of relationships, vulnerability, and the reconciliation of longing versus reality. Plaintive and grounded folk swells into psychedelic crescendo; Americana-inflected lead guitar parts act as expansive foil for wry, almost cast-off observations; admissions of gnawing insecurities to Go-betweens jangle bubbles over into full-band wig outs. Adam Hopper & the Wimps follows on the heels of 2025's EP Remember To Have Fun, which saw the band secure a live session on Riley and Coe's BBC 6 Music show. Since then Hopper has moved across the Pennines to Sheffield to immerse himself in the thriving DIY scene there, making use of renowned venue and recording studio Delicious Clam, where the record was recorded.
