Concert Review: Hippo Campus at Stubbs Waller Amphitheater

By Sofia Gualy Music Journalist I have been a fan of Hippo Campus since they released their 2015 EP Bashful Creatures which included a few of my favorites such as “Sophie So” and “Suicide Saturday.” Their infectious sound never bores you due to each of their songs being so unique.
