Hope Of The States play melancholy pretty indie stuff with a few smatterings of post-rock. Sounds a bit like Six By Seven having a play-out competition with Elbow, or something. Anyway, point is, they're good. And they've got lots of gigs lined up over the next few months, which you might want to go to. Here are the details!
