‘Fall in line, don’t act surprised, this is where your dreams go to die, believe our lies, it’s your demise, OBEY’.

Portland’s Hope? unleash a debut EP of politically engaged, d-beat infused crust.  The 1990s-influenced bedrock to the band’s sound is distorted, crushing metallic crust.  Laced with dissonantly melodic leads, this carries with it an increasing rock’n’roll swagger as the record progresses.  The undeniable centrepiece of their sound are the rasping, sneering lead vocals, which literally drip with contempt as they explore themes of social conflict and inequality.
