Signs of Hope

Hailing from Bridgeport, Connecticut, U.S.A., Signs of Hope is a fast and energetic hardcore band with a touch of melody. The band was formed in September of 2003 with the intention of playing straight to the point songs loaded with sing-a-longs, mosh parts, and an overlaying positive message. The band's demo quickly earned them a reputation as one of Connecticut's premier acts, landing them on Stillborn Records. The ability to establish themselves as a home state headliner off a six minute demo reflects Signs of Hope's capability to resonate with fans and win the hearts of the hardcore scene.
