There are two bands under the name of Hopes: 1). Hailing from Manchester, post-hardcore band Hopes formed in 2011 and immediately started working the indie gig circuit. They have released several free demos and singles, the latest being Light and Shadow single/EP. They already have become recognised on bills working with other local outfits such as The Carthasis, Wolves, Curses and You Cried Wolf to name a few. Upon participating in the Red Bull Bedroom Jam they received very positive reviews and ratings.
