The Hope Conspiracy’s New Single “Those Who Gave Us Yesterday” is a Middle Finger to American Imperialism
Hardcore punk outfit The Hope Conspiracy have been pretty busy lately and today’s the day we now know what they’ve been working on as of late. Earlier today, the band released “Those Who Gave Us Yesterday,” their first single off the newly announced album Tools Of Oppression / Rule by Deception.
Set for release on May 31 via Deathwish Inc., the album was engineered by Kurt Ballou and Zach Weeks at God City Studios.
Speaking of the track, vocalist Kevin Baker said it was all about American imperialism and the death our country deals around the world while shit continues to crumble around us.
“America’s greatest export is death and destruction. The decisions and actions of our collective ancestors and past / present leaders have brought us to where we are today. The world is a college of corporations and ‘profit is everything amidst a crumbling vile decay.’ They don’t care about your borders. They don’t care about your flags. They don’t care about your rights. They don’t care about your beliefs. They don’t care about YOU.
“All of those things are just tools to control and manipulate us. The elites and establishment in charge have no vision for the future other than ultimate power and total control by dividing and subdividing the masses. Our tax dollars are laundered overseas through the war machine. This is the natural order of things today. THEY DON’T CARE… Period.”
Tools Of Oppression / Rule by Deception will be available on May 31 via Deathwish Inc., but you can preorder your copy today.
