Hopesfall have reunited and signed with Graphic Nature Records/Equal Vision Records. The band will enter the studio in January with producer Mike Watts (Glassjaw, The Dear Hunter) to begin recording the first new album since 2007’s “Magnetic North“. Along for the ride this time out are:
Vocals: Jay Forrest
Guitars: Josh Brigham
Guitars: Dustin Nadler
Bass: Chad Waldrup
Drums: Adam Morgan
Brigham commented of the band’s return:
“We are super grateful to Graphic Nature/Equal Vision Records for giving us an opportunity to make some music. We’ve always been EVR fans, they signed a lot of bands that were huge influences on us. In addition to that, a lot of our friends in bands who have worked with EVR had nothing but high praise for them, so their reputation as being quality people made it a pretty easy decision.
The motivation for making this new album comes from a genuine desire to remain creative by continuing to write and play music together again. We won’t lie, between having jobs, relationships, kids, and other responsibilities, it can be tough to make time to play, but as long as we feel like we still have something good to offer, we will find a balance.”
Before the band’s new album hits much of their back catalog will arrive on new colored vinyl pressings. Those pressings will arrive in mid-January and can be pre-ordered here. Details include:
- “A second pressing of The Satellite Years available on clear with purple splatter (limited to 400) and clear with translucent blue center color in color (limited to 100: box set only)
- A first pressing of A Types available on translucent yellow/green and opaque orange a/side-b/side mix (limited to 400) and translucent red with opaque orange center color in color (limited to 100: box set only)
