As you all know we recently have had a few line up changes. With this brings some other changes that we will persue in the coming new year. Nothing major, just a small tuning adjustment.(You'll hear it soon enough;) Right now we are taking a small break for the holidays, but we will be back in the rehersal room in January. It dosen't make much sense to do it sooner, there's nobody around! We hope you all are having an awesome holiday and we'll see you in the new year which we also hope will be awesome for you all as well:)

Well it's been less than a week, and already we have filled the guitarist position! The great thing is, we didn't have to look far. Philip(Toby) Meldert is the new guy, and has been a hanging out buddy for awhile. The suggestion came up at The Infamous Birthday Party(check the pics, he's the guy in the striped shirt:). So yesterday we jammed and it worked out famously! One down one to go! We are extremly happy because- 1. Toby's a cool guy 2. He can play 3. He's a friend so we don't have to go through the whole 'getting to know you' thing. We are stoked and can't wait to get things rolling again. oh yeah-we still need a bassist! Got a feeling this will solve itself too.

On Thursday Dec. 10th, our two friends Adi Selimic and Johan Björkander decided to leave the band due to personal and directional differences. We are sad to see them go and wish them both nothing but the best of luck with everything. The band is staying together and have already found two possible candidates to fill the bass and guitar slots. Again we cannot stress enough that we are NOT breaking up, we are just starting a new phase with the band. We will fill you all in as to what's going on as it happens.

Just wanted to let you all know what's been going on here in the Hope Over Fear camp lately. It has come to our attention that cool people who like what we're doing have put us in thier top friends and would like for us to do the same. Well, if we could, we'd top friend everyone, but it seems after five thousand friends, Myspace won't alow friends to be searched! So if we want to top friend someone, we have to go through over fourhundred pages of people, which we have done, but it takes a looooong time. We feel bad about this and want you all to know that it's not our fault. Please understand and be patient. In other news, we are in the process of writing new material. We got side tacked for a week while Dale was recovering from a bike accident, but we are back on schedual. We're hoping to take the music in a new direction, but not too far off the beaten path of what we're already doing. We're also planning some gigs in the new year, so keep an eye out for those dates! Again, we apologise for the fuck up with the top friends. Thank you for making us look good myspace!( Add sarcastic voice here:)

Last friday at around 6:00 in the evening, my wife and i were struck by a car while on our bikes. Some dick who wasn't paying attention to the road, nailed us as we were right in the middle of the bike crossing and YES we had the green light! Pia susstained a fractured leg, bruises, and got her front teeth wacked in. I twisted my right ankle, and after i bounced off the hood of the car, i landed on the pavement on my shoulder causing swelling in my right hand, and pain all up my right arm. No broken bones on either of us, but we feel like we got our asses kicked(which we did!) But we were lucky- it could have been a fuck-ton worse. So for the next week or so i can't get on my drums, which pisses me off 'cause we were on a roll. Oh well. absence makes the heart grow fonder....... or some shit like that;)

Last night we had a band meeting to discuss our next plan(s) of action for the upcoming year. While we were talking, we realised that we have done everything we set out to do in our first year as a band. Here's the list: 1. Form band(Check) 2. Get bigger rehersal space(Check)3. Begin writing and refining songs(check) 4. Record songs(check) 5. Start and maintain on a regular basis a Myspace page(obviously check or you wouldn't be reading this!) 6. Add 10,000 friends and get 20,000 plays and/or veiws(we exceeded 18,000 friends, 27,000 plays and 38,000 veiws)7.Get out and play live.(Check) So what's next? Well, we are writing now, and plan to get into the studio again in spring 2010. We are also planning to update this page, as soon as we get the time. Spring will also see us on stage alot more, but for the moment, we would rather concentrait on writing the best tunes we can. We want to now take the time to thank everyone who has requested, added and commented, and to our dedicated fans. Let's make the next year the year we take it to the next level!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Dale/Hope Over Fear

Last night we played at Cafe Mic in Vänersborg. With the exception of the incredibly bad sound we got from out front, we kicked ass! We want to thank everyone who came out, and we also want to thank Moloken and Arg, two kick ass bands! See you soon! And ofcourse Jonas for driving.

This week we are heading up to Vänersborg to play a show at Cafe Mic. We're seriously stoked over this and are really looking forward to meeting the people there. It's gonna kick ass!!!!! We really wanted to add one or possibly two more songs to the live set, but we didn't have anything ready. Here's our writing process- Someone comes up with a riff idea, Mikey, Johan and Dale arrange it, Adi comes in and adds his ideas to the mix, we play it a few times to get it tight, then we tear it apart and start all over again! This is how we've done it since day one, and although it's a slow process, it really does work! So, as we speak there are all kinds of song ideas floating around that room- we just gotta tie them together(so we can tear them apart again:) 

Get ready Vänersborg!!!!!!!!

On october 29th we take our show on the road up to Vänersborg sweden to rock out at Cafe Mic. Right now we are going through a period of work related stress(Mikey and Johan) Physical pain or lack there of (Dale has no feeling in his right hand due to possible drum related nerve damage) and addiction (Joy Boy and his video games). Some how Adi comes off clean in this one:) But no matter, we are gonna kick ass and soldier through, 'cause you all wouldn't expect any less! Working on some new stuff right now, it's gonna be interesting. Stay tuned!

Last night we played with our good friends Zero Illusions and Avibon. Wasn't exactly our crowd but we won them over(well,most of them- you can't please everyone) and put on, in many peoples opinions, a better show than the first one. Which means to us that we're getting better with each show:) We want to thank EVERYONE who came out last night- you're the reason we rocked so hard!
