Биография

If you were to combine the rock n’ revelry of Turnstile, the muscular hooks of Blacklisted, and the metallic crunch of Bitter End, you might have a close approximation of Hopes sound, but ultimately these young and wild bucks are forging their own path. On their 2019 debut album Breathing Underwater, Hopes churn out eight razor-sharp bursts of thick and chunky modern hardcore with genre-bending flourishes, an indication that the band are both reverent to the roots of hardcore while simultaneously thumbing their noses at staunch traditionalism. Across its adrenalizing twenty-minute runtime, you get the impression that Hopes hold the defiant spirit of hardcore in high esteem while deeming nothing else sacred.
