Music / a band on hope

A Band On Hope release exclusive album stream

By Oliver Evans  Friday Sep 9, 2016

One of the highlights – arguably the highlight – of our involvement in this year’s Brisfest Soundscape was a stage-shredding performance by Bristol hip-hop collective The Scribes. We’ve got a new interview with them coming soon, but in the meantime here’s something new to wrap your ears around.

Scribes frontman Ill Literate has collaborated with producer Kristian Sharpe for new project A Band On Hope (arf), whose eponymous debut album is released on September 15.
