The Hope Conspiracy

The Hope Conspiracy is an American hardcore punk band formed in late 1999. They were picked up by Equal Vision Records and Bridge 9 Records before signing a deal with Deathwish Inc. With the help of Mark Thompson of Tortuga and Hydra Head Records, The Hope Conspiracy went to Godcity Studios in Norwood, Massachusetts to record their first demo in November 1999. It consisted of three songs ("Escapist", "Divinity Sickness" and "When the Doves Fly"). They produced 1,000 copies of the cassette and managed to present 200 copies at their first concert with black-and-white covers (which were hastily made on the way to the concert).
