Hopes Die Last is another post hardcore screamo band yet they still maintain a hardcore edge at the same time. Your Face Down is a 6 track EP. While the music is nothing ground breaking it is damn good. They demand respect and pull them selves away from the pack with a great balance of growls, screams, and beautifully delivered vocals. They remind me of early From First To Last but with a heavier more hardcore edge, as if you turned them inside out and had more screams than clean vocals. The first track "Thanks For Coming" is a very good opening track and is one of the harder tracks of the set. HDL then sets the bar with one of the best tracks I have heard in a long time. "Call Me Sick Boy" is that track. It has incredibly impressive vocals mixed with perfectly delivered screams. The following track is also extremely good, it is dubbed "I belong to the skies" it is more of the same enjoyable music. Over all Your Face Down Now did what all EPs are meant to do and that is make you want more. Hopes Die Last are not nearly as good as they can be but they showed you just a glimpse at exactly how amazing they will be.
