In 2024, Hedge made a huge introduction to the punk scene with the release of their debut album, Better Days. The Western Mass trio, that includes Christopher Chaisson (The Young Leaves), take cues from their fellow compatriots Dinosaur Jr. and The Lemonheads while adding a little more punk flare in the vein of Husker Du and early Blink-182. Most of their songs barely hit the two-minute mark and explode with melodies. Hedge are following up Better Days with a new six-song EP, Freeze Frame, High Five, that will be released on the 27th March via Best Brother Records, the EP builds on what made Better Days so charming while taking new swings. Look no further than their new single, Hey Dude, that is out now through streaming platforms, Hedge will also be on tour throughout New England from the 28th February.
“Hey Dude is about the unique intricacies of growing up and how they shape later life. For some, it’s cultural or based in tradition; but for me, it was my dad introducing me to Dinosaur Jr. and me declaring them as my permanent full-time favorite band at the age of 8. It’s about appreciating their existence and their continued willingness to rock, thus serving as a reminder to continue rocking despite being “older, greyer, larger”. I also mention other elder local favorites, Buffalo Tom and The Lemonheads, for good measure.” (guitarist & vocalist Christopher Chaisson)
