Fort Hope, a British rock band with an emotive edge, carved its own niche in the indie music landscape with a sound that weaves together introspective lyrics and anthemic melodies. Emerging from the ashes of My Passion, lead vocalist Jon Gaskin, alongside Simon Rowlands on bass, Jamie Nicholls on drums, and initially with guitarist Andé D'Mello (who later departed in 2015), Fort Hope took its first steps in 2013. The band quickly established its presence with their self-titled EP, 'Fort Hope - EP,' showcasing their ability to craft stirring rock tunes with a pop sensibility.

Through a sequence of releases that display a potent mix of vulnerability and vigor, Fort Hope has spoken directly to a dedicated fanbase. With notable works like 'Courage,' 'Choices,' and 'Control,' they formed a trilogy of EPs that delve into themes of personal empowerment and the struggle in finding one's place, resonating deeply with listeners. As they released further works, including 'Powers' and 'The Flood Flowers (Vol. 1),' it's evident that Fort Hope has matured in their sound, embracing more complex arrangements and expanding their emotional palette. Their overture for authenticity and passion for storytelling through music have cemented Fort Hope's standing as a touchstone for fans seeking solace and strength in rock music.
