Hope Conspiracy

It was like falling in love! I saw them at Gilman on Saturday knowing nothing about them. I had heard their opening band, Touche Amore on the radio and wanted to check that band out, but as it turned out, got there too late. But what I experienced from the Hope Conspiracy blew my mind away! Like love, it can only come unexpectedly. You can try going into it armed with recommendations, but the rates of accuracy are no better than random probabilities. So when you fall in love at last, you feel wiped out, as if by a warm, tropical tidal wave.
