Hope Is Noise: This Used To Be A Laugh

Since bringing their body of work under the banner of Hope Is Noise in late 2004, this Cork four-piece have built a dedicated following, drawn equally to their ability to construct a winning pop tune and their incendiary, hardcore tendencies. The result is a sound that, in places, resonates with a more considered take on Husker Du and Foo Fighters’ knack for a tune, and burns with a rage comparable to Hot Snakes or At The Drive-In.
