Hope Of The States have confirmed that they will split.

 

The band made an announcement over the Carling Festivals weekend that the gigs would be their last live performances. Now they have confirmed their second album will be their last, and they will not continue to work together.

 

Their statement reads: "We can walk away at this point as friends and be increasingly proud of what we have done. Thank you to everyone for all your support and the incredible times we have shared with our fans and supporters."

I quite liked this band, although I found the lead singers voice a bit irritating. I think it is a real shame that this band has called it a day, especially as I really liked "Sing It Out". What do you think?

i like this band to, but i suppose when you're in that division know body gives a damn once all you've used up all the interest and the second album has come around

i bought both albums... both decent, but they were never going to get any bigger...

It's a shame that they stop trying. They were a good band and I know they weren't a success, but they could've tried a bit more.
