Hoop Dreams - XCPR



Hoop Dreams is a mellow indie pop band from Blacksburg, made up of Max Brooks and Jeff Haley (former members of Wild Nothing), Tommy Davidson (Dream Cop), Jordan Mrazik, Julie Shepherd and Marcus McDonald. They make clattering, slightly neurotic pop songs in the vein of a deconstructed Cure.

The band is currently mixing a batch of songs for an LP release with Captured Tracks due out late this summer / early fall. Their first ever 7", XCPR, was released on 21 June. It stands for “cross country personal record”. Basically, it's to get people moving fast: dancing, running, speeding down the road.
