No Hope Astronaut

NO HOPE ASTRONAUT are a power trio of Joe Dowling on vocals and guitar, Dave Ferguson on bass and backing vocals and Neil Stephenson on drums.



Following on from their successes in 2008 (which include 2nd place in the UK Final of Emergenza Worldwide Battle of the Bands as well as the competitions best bassist award), No Hope Astronaut signed to London record label The Animal Farm and recorded their eagerly awaited follow up EP ‘Exits Fade’, due for release 24th August 2009.



Their self-released debut EP ‘The Things You Build’ in June 2007 was greeted with glowing reviews:



KERRANG! stated…



“Clearly coming from the same school as Biffy Clyro, No Hope Astronaut specialise in angular guitars and quirky melodies that that manage to be not only interestingly off-kilter but also bizarrely hooky” - KKK



ROCKSOUND raved…



"Something huge in the making, No Hope Astronaut’s debut EP is music to be proud of. This band are seeping at the seams with qualities that can only transform them into true British EMO pioneers. Although it will take a while to chow the complexity of this one down, await the next release with bated breath" - 8/10



‘Exits Fade’, the group’s follow up EP more than lives up to expectations, but to truly appreciate the bands powerful music, a front row ticket to one of their energetic live show is a must!
