awesome band from the 00s, got a £1m Sony deal but had some tragic circumstances and they split after 2 albums. Anyone else remember them? The singer Sam Herlihy has chatted about it all (and new material) on new ep of The StageLeft Podcast

I moved this to Music too.

Someone posted this earlier in here

Hope Of the States, etc Music

Hope of the States were great, right? The Lost Riots is one of my all-time favourites So there is this label called Lost Music Club who have just released an album by Dark Houses, which is the first post-HOTS project by Sam and Simon and Paul from HOTS (with help from Mike Siddell) which was recorded immediately after HOTS split back whenever it was. It was sat on a hard drive for 10 years or so before being released last week. I wasn't expecting a huge amount, but, it is everything I hoped it…

There was a lovely thread on this already - a great listen that really shone a light one what their experience must have been like. Also - got a few of us listening to Dark Houses, the HOTS-esque solo album Sam made years ago and left on a hard drive (now on Spotify etc)

But anyone who hasn’t listened to this should.
