âan album which has aptly been championed as 'a gem from start to finish'. 9/10â
Frequency Ireland Blog.

"From the album's opener, "Lions Led By Donkey's" to the closing track "I Live With Bruce Banner", where the vocalist even shouts "This is the end!" the band moves through it's motions effortlessly. Each song flows so nicely into the next, and there is no filler on here, each one of the 11 songs are just as good as the next"

"This is a fine album, a hopeful albumâ¦.a cut above the averageâ¦.if you like your tuneful post-hardcore and bands like Whipping Boy and Hot Snakes and Trail Of The Dead, if you like clever anthemic rock with a little twist and turn and a little bit of details that makes them stand out from the crowd, if you like delivered with a caustic edge, then this is for you... rather good, like it lots"

HOPE IS NOISE, from Cork Ireland, have been an explosive live force and favorite among the vibrant Cork music scene for the last two years now.
Fresh back from their West Coast tour of the U.S.A. with San Diegoâs HOSTILE COMBOVER, their new album has been laying waste to the unsuspecting public while they write new material and plan an attack (..being a tour of course) into mainland Europe.

Their debut album, âApplaud friends, the comedy is overâ has been produced by the legendary Ciaran OâShea (El Bastardo, Rulers of the Planet, Rest) and co-released via Rimbaud Records and Squint and Draw.
