Hope of the States?
So, Hope of the States play tomorrow night at the Scala. Is it worth going, or one to miss?
For what it's worth I'd say if you like a big swirling guitar sound then definitely go.
I saw them at Glasto last year, then at ULU, and both times they were great despite a few technical hitches.
They are basically similar to Godspeed you black emperor but with lyrics and a British twist, and there's nothing wrong with that!
I'll be there in my Amazing Grace t-shirt....

I cannot recommend this band enough. I have not seen them live but they have improved a lot since Glasto last year or so reviews suggest. I have never known a new band to have such a range of superb material. Album out in two weeks and I think I can be pretty certain that it will be my album of the year. Definitely go.

Saw them in glasgow on Friday night. Was dissapointed.
Thought the band that were supporting them were more like Godspeed. (in parts) whereas HOTS just made a racket at times wasting songs that had started off well. Just seems to me they were launching into the noisy bits for the sake of it. The didnt add to much to the songs and it seemed a bit contrived to me. Didnt seem to build towards a wall of noise as so much crash into it. I had an open mind goin as I had never heard anythin by them b4
