Hell isn't such a bad place.....

The Brit-rockers return this month with their self-titled third album available from 11th June, aided by a full UK tour of many Barfly venues. 'You've Got Hopes' is a taster from the album, provided by the band via their myspace page, providing fans with an insight into what to expect from the new material.

Having endured a rather hostile split with EMI after debut album 'The Neon Handshake', HIFH are now settled with Burning Heart Records and couldn't be happier. Hopefully this will allow HIFH to fulfil their enormous potential and place them at the forefront of the British rock scene.

What will be immediately apparent to established fans is that the typical HIFH sound returns; clean, modulated guitar arpeggios populate the verses, with subdued and gentle vocals. The drum rolls provide a sense of anticipation, culminating in an explosion of distorted guitars and soaring vocals as the band reach full flight. The only downside is that this atmospheric storm ends and fades out far too quickly. After the gradual build up, you expect the crescendo to last a little longer. Nonetheless, this track marks a great return and will have Brit-rock fans eagerly awaiting the album release.
