The Hope Conspiracy

The Hope Conspiracy is a Boston punk group whose sonic approach leans heavily into the classic American hardcore styling of bands like Minor Threat and Black Flag. After emerging in 2000 with their Equal Vision debut, Cold Blue, the outfit issued two more full-length efforts and an EP before embarking on a 14-year hiatus in 2009. Bandmembers dedicated themselves to other projects like All Pigs Must Die, Hesitation Wounds, Lies, Paint It Black, Spiral Heads, and Ways Away before reconvening in 2023 for the EP Confusion/Chaos/Misery.
