The Hope Conspiracy are they still around? In mainland Europe people seem to believe The Hope Conspiracy broke up a long while ago. Not that strange taken into consideration that the band didn't do many shows between 2004 and 2009 and 2006' Death Knows Your Name didn't get the attention previous Hope Con records got.
When the band announced several European shows early 2010 I immediately started playing 'Death Knows Your Name' again and it struck me that I actually like that record better than, by now considered a classic, Endnote.
When visiting the Reflections household today I picked up the latest Hope Con release and after playing it several times I'm looking even more forward to the live shows.
True Nihilist is heavy, dirty and 100 procent hardcore. It's what Black Flag would have sounded like if they came from Boston and were a band right now. Well maybe that's not totally true but I hope I get my idea across. This is threatening, agressive music with intelligent lyrics and without becoming metal or whatever.
A real plus is the artwork that consists of a mindblowing giant poster with great japanes style artwork of a skeletonbird carrying the earth.
Yes The Hope Conspiracy are still around and yes they still kick ass more then most new bands do.
