"I knew right away, that my previously favorite bands would drop in my interest. did. sure enough, I had to get this EP and "Satellite Years". and wasn't disappointed. "No Wings to Speak Of" is Hopesfall's unique style brought to perfection. when listening to it, you really feel like travelling through space. track "The End of an Era" is so beautiful, that you might literally think "this is what I'll hear when going to heaven..." a sound of sadness, yet peace in mind and soul.
beautiful."

"My brother saw Hopesfall perform one of their first shows back in 1999. He told me about how amazing they were, so I tracked down Frailty of Words and bought it online. I had all but stopped listening to hardcore before the first night I listened to the DTS release. Just like a lot of independent music, my first listen was a confused and almost disappointing one. But then I listened to it again. Now, nearly five years later, this is still my favorite cd of all time. I listen to all kinds of music too. I'm not a die hard metalcore/hardcore fan by any stretch of the imagination. These guys are blessed. Even though the original members have all gone their seperate ways for the most part, I still support and buy every album that this band comes out with.



Now, let me get to No Wings To Speak Of. Just as enjoyable as their first album, and slightly more progressive. If you want to here some outstanding music, buy this EP. Trust me, for fans of hardcore, this is cutting edge pure emotion spilled out over sound waves. It will change your perception forever. Everyone rants about End Of An Era. It's absolutely 100% as good as people say, but every song on here is equally impressive. This is the fullest sounding, most emotionally driven, heart pounding, deep and intense music I've heard maybe ever. If you don't buy this cd, you are cheating yourself big time.



If you like Hopesfall, I strongly recommend 7Angels 7Plagues, Misery Signals, Evergreen Terrace, Between The Buried and Me, Prayer For Cleansing. All these bands deliver much passionate hardcore, but you just can't compare them to Hopesfall. They are in a Leauge all their own. And just one more thing. What is it about North Carolina that so many of these awesome bands come from there? I dunno."

"what can I say? These guys are phenominal! I expected nothing less. A Charlotte, NC based hardcore/emotional band screams and sings their way to be one of the best bands of their genre on the scene. Like all hardcore music, repeated listenings are a must because you don't catch everything that goes on in the songs on the first listen. For fans of From Autumn to Ashes, Glassjaw, Atreyu, Beloved, Poison the Well, Avenged Sevenfold, Underoath, and Boy Sets FireTheir newer album is most definitely worth checking out. Hardcore music is never gonna go mainstream but Hopesfall will become one of the major influences in the modern hardcore sceneEnjoy and rock on!-Greg"
