Bio
Hop On Pop is Todd Leiter-Weintraub, a songwriter too restless to keep himself chained to a single genre. His first album, As Drawn By Ethan, Age 2, was released in April, 2004 on Spade Kitty Records to positive reviews, but modest sales.
Todd convinced multi-instrumentalist David Kling to join him on the follow-up. With Kling on-board, he picked up friends and acquaintances wherever he found them to join the fun.
With it's ever-shifting lineup, the new album is even more stylistically dive...

“Wow...such a great band name, hard to believe no one thought of it before. Hop On Pop is the project driven by the songwriting skills of Todd Leiter-Weintraub. Joining Todd on these recordings is David Kling and various other artists/musicians. The humorously-titled Chicken On A Bicycle kicks off with the slightly goofy "Here"...an instantly addictive tune that sounds not unlike My Dad Is Dead in some ways. Many of the tunes on this album are pure pop but there are some acoustic solo tracks as well. Leiter-Weintraub proves himself to be an excellent songwriter. When he's "on" he comes up with songs that are remarkably appealing and intelligent. Ten tracks including "Here," "Tortured Artist" (a really cool standout cut), "I'm Pathetic," and "Happy Days." This came very close to being a top pick this month. We'd be willing to bet that the world will be hearing some even more amazing stuff from this peculiar little band in the very near future.”

Second song for second album being recorded
May 24, 2008 at 08:12 PM
Just got home from initial tracking sessions for the second song -- "Hey" -- from the second album -- MIXTAPE.
And, as happened with the first song ("Here")... it went BETTER than expected! Dave was masterful on the skins; Noah is amazing behind the board; and the little ProTools drum experiment I've had brewing in my head for the last 5 years o...
