Following the footsteps of bands such as Underoath and From First To Last, Hopes Die Last are contenders for the winning formula in the actual post-hardcore scene. Mixing gorgeous guitar licks and towering drum patterns, as well as a duel-vocal approach; Hopes die last showcase a perfect blend of aggressive vocal stamina and fine-tuned lyrical matter, providing a healthy foreground for the exhaustive backdrop on which they perform. The band is made up of five kids. For them, it’s not about being in the hall of fame; it’s all about screwing around and being teenagers.
In July 2008, Nick, the screamer, announced through the band’s myspace page that he was quitting the band to pursue other interests.
