Wild Hope

Bio:

Wild Hope have supported Tiffany Page, Drugstore, Cloud Control & Cherry Ghost amoungst others and garnered the following reviews:

“David Zovko’s vocals are both distinctive without becoming grating, and the catchy guitar riffs and melodies work to produce the kind of ear-friendly pop rock that will easily appeal to the masses. A sense of real feeling and maturity comes through with each song, suggesting that these guys are in this for the love of music, rather than a desperate search for fame and recognition, which is really refreshing, and works to make them even more worthy of fame and recognition.” http://beatthestatic.wordpress.com/2011/02/27/brand-spanking-new-wild-hope/

“There seems to be a lot of great bands coming out of Cambridge nowadays (Violet Bones, Ghostlight, Isaac’s Aircraft – to only name a few) and Wild Hope are one of them.” http://acuvi.org/2011/03/11/wild-hope-money-gold/

"they have both a powerful live sound and some memorable songs .... and Ben Henricksen's abrasive electric guitar playing, which reminds me slightly of Bernard Butler in his Suede days" Sound On Sound magazine

"A four piece indie rock band from Cambridge, Wild Hope were first on stage and overall, impressed the audience with their confident instrumental skills and mature song writing abilities", Holly Goodchild, Art And Soul magazine

"Highlights for me were the bonus live tracks, with some nice slide sounds and thoughtful plucking over lovely, dreamy soundscapes, and not a rock cliché in sight." Chris Marlings - Repeat Fanzine
