Hoodie Allen

Hoodie Allen delivers heartbreak-inspired emo hooks on his latest full-length release, b:)b. The eight-song endeavour weaves between infectious pop melodies juxtaposed with punk guitar riffs. A sonic departure from his usual playful raps, this record takes us on a highly personal journey of the messiness that befalls a breakup. This alternative pop-punk emergence isn’t completely unexpected, however, as Hoodie has previously toured with the likes of Fall Out Boy, opened for Panic at the Disco and Twenty One Pilots, and collaborated with Mark Hoppus (of Blink 182) and State Champs. The Brooklyn-based indie musician became an independent sensation when he first formally arrived in 2009.
