The last couple of years has really opened my eyes to a number of older hardcore bands that I either straight up ignored, or didn't fully appreciate them at the time. Last year I picked up on some late 90's hardcore bands, and this year, thanks to Frostbite, I've been searching through my early 2000's playlist to see what I should spend more time with.
I was recently giving my CDs a quick look to test a new player that my wife picked up, and I saw the first EP from The Hope Conspiracy stuck in there. I thought it had been a long time since I'd listened to it, so I pulled it out for a test spin.
I haven't listened to these songs for about 15 years, and man, that has been a mistake. This kind of shit is exactly what I want to be listening to right now. So heavy... so angry. Lately it seems that most of these new discoveries for me aren't readily available for me to scoop the record on Discogs, and I'm stuck having to play the waiting game... so when I saw this grey vinyl option listed, I jumped on it.I honestly haven't bothered with any of the Hope Conspiracy stuff beyond the Cold Blue album. Maybe this is the year for me to dive into that.
