Hope of the States were a band like few others during the 00s indie scene - delivering epic rock music with a powerful message. And on this week's show singer Sam Herlihy tells The Boys in the Band Podcast about the story of the band.
Their break came via a teletext review and their huge sound landed them a big record deal with Sony, which saw them splash out creatively, and Sam reflects on their recording sessions, the music they made and their standout shows.
But sadly, the band were also touched by tragedy with the death of guitarist Jimmi, and Sam pays a moving tribute to him and explains why the band felt they had to carry on the journey they'd started with their friend.
