Journalistic Writing exercise 4


Hopes Die Last
Who are they? A five piece, post- hardcore/screamo band from Rome, signed to Standby Records. They formed in 2004 and although released 2 ep albums have been kept pretty quiet on the music scene. Their first ep released in 2005 consisted of six songs and they were classed as pop punk/emo, it doesn’t surprise as emo was one of the biggest genres around in the rock industry at this time. ‘Your face down now’ EP released in 2008 is the album that is classed as Post hardcore/screamo. After playing a few dates in America and Europe, the bands former vocalist Nick decided to leave the band claiming on Myspace he loved them to bits but he wasn’t happy playing that kind of music anymore.
‘Six years home’ is the 2009 album that includes new singer Daniele Tofani. Only one music video ‘some like it cold’ was released in promotion of the album. They have also done covers of songs such as Katy Perry’s- fireworks. The band are working on a new album out later this year and are promoting it by going on a UK tour supporting American band Attack Attack! A tour in Europe follows.
