Less than a year after his debut album Happy Birthday, the actor and burgeoning-musician returns with his sophomore LP Fire From The Hip. This latest outing finds Wolfhard fleshing out the indie-rock rawness of Happy Birthday while pushing simultaneously at the boundaries of his ambition. If his debut studio album was the rallying cry, then Fire From The Hip is the world widening around it.
