About the Band
www.hopeandsocial.com

“possibly the most complete band ever”
(Tim Hornsby – Duchess/Fibbers).

Inventive and curious; in turns restive or fired with passion; fiendishly hard to categorise yet perfect for any record collection in the land.

“They talked of Springsteen and Arcade Fire. They talked of Astral Weeks and Bowie. And they talked about making something that matters. Distilling the sound of classic albums thirty years ago brought bang up-to date; part call-to-arms, part lament: dark but exalted - brutally frank guitars married with soaring and honest vocals. Add an ancient 'knees-up' piano and a '73 Rhodes, and you're getting close. We've seen the new H&S still unmistakable but with more depth, and more spark, more calm and more storm. One of those bands you should see before you die.” – The Duchess, York

Since forming, Hope and Social have recorded and released their debut EP, and album, played key dates around the UK. Played twice at Glastonbury; at the Acoustic Stage and selected from 1000’s of entries to headline Q Magazine’s “Emerging Talent” slots at Glastonbury’s Queen’s Head stage. Hope and Social have also played the illustrious JD Set at the Luminaire in London this year and have been invited to play NXNE in Toronto. The band are happy also to have garnered “Album of the Week” status from www.themusicmagazine.co.uk and numerous plays on 6 Music as Hope and Social have become a regular feature on Tom Robinson. Channel M TV in Manchester also featured Hope and Social, devoting a full 30 minute show, a “Hope and Social Special” to the band. See it here:
