Biography
No Hope in New Jersey is a four piece rock band formed in Manchester in 2003. A string of great live performances got them picked up by Atlantic Records after only six gigs. Theirs is a direct sound that bears little resemblance to much of the city's output of the last few years. No echoes of Madchester here. No Oasis stadium bluster. Their songs contain big riffs and sly melodies but a deceptive sense of craft. Early interviews off the back of the band's first single have seen journalists try to link them to the city and fail. Manchester doesn't produce music like this. Until now that is. ?Our aim is to make music that fuses together all of our favourite bands and capture the initial excitement that we got when we heard artists like Fugazi, Neil Young, Metallica, Bowie, for the first time,? explains Andy. ?If we have any influences whatsoever it's wanting to be like those bands that follow their own journey as musicians. Bands that don't need to be part of a particular scene to be what they are. That's what we like.?
