To let everyone know what is up with Last Great Hope we have decided to do an interview with someone who knows the right questions to ask, Dougyb7 of Last Great Hope. Interviewing one’s self is a dangerous thing to attempt and not for the faint of heart. Read on to learn about the mysterious return of Last Great Hope and the new record, Like A Revolution.

Dougyb7- So, where has Last Great Hope been?
Dougyb7- When we are not trying to save the world we keep busy by working on music and other forms of artful expression.

Dougyb7- Why the long time off?
Dougyb7 – It was a mutual decision to stop for a while. The industry was imploding, the local scene was a lifeless lump of crap, and we wanted to work on other projects, and our tans.

Dougyb7- So, tell me about the new record, Like a Revolution.
Dougyb7 – It’s 10 songs of pure energy. Big guitars, big vocals, catchy melodies, one Guns n Roses cover and a ballad.

Dougyb7 – Why GnR?
Dougyb7 – We all love that band and “It’s So Easy” is about as punk as they come for a rock band.

Dougyb7 – Why a ballad, I didn’t think punks do ballads?
Dougyb7 – First off, fuck you! Being punk rock means doing what you want and not asking for anyone’s opinion. Music is music and I wanted a challenge. Writing a ballad did not come easy but the song is great. It has a big string section and really punches you in the gut emotionally. Did I mention fuck you?

Dougyb7 – Will LGH be playing out soon?
Dougyb7 – Yes. We are hoping for stadiums and arenas but will settle for smelly clubs and house parties if necessary.

Dougyb7 – You released your new record on Stiffpole Records, why?
Dougyb7 – Because they are the real deal. They know the industry and are like family to us. Every band should be so lucky.

Dougyb7 – So, lastly, what do you see in the future for Last Great Hope?
Dougyb7 – Big fat checks, limos, hookers, designer drugs…Actually, we just want to have a lot of fun, see the record do really well and play a bunch of killer shows. Making music is the best and we can’t wait to get back at it!
