Hope of the States - The Lost Riots
Been on a nostalgia trip recently, and as a result rediscovered some absolute gems. Hope of the States were one of the most underrated and interesting British bands to come out in years. They released two albums before calling it quits. This album is the more experimental of the two, incorporating prog, post-rock and alt influences. Their guitarist committed suicide shortly before its release, and they never quite recovered from it, even though their second album is actually very good too. Criminally overlooked band, and mostly forgotten now, which is a real shame.
