After releasing its first few rollicking singles last year, the youthful alt-rock outfit released its debut album Adolescence in July. Hibiscus’ record is loaded with Green Day-esque guitar licks, hefty bass work that you didn’t know you needed, and even a rerecorded version of last year’s “Hermione” with cleaner guitar work and vocals. The five-piece’s Hooch and Hive gig ain’t a release party, but with a relatively slim list of original songs, don’t be surprised if it’s treated like one. After all, you only release your debut album once.—Josh Bradley
