Hope & Social

Hello everyone,

I've had the pleasure to discover the English band Hope & Social on Bandcamp a few months ago. Their last output is a cover album, made with a different guest on every track. It's a lot of fun, with covers of, among others, Robert Palmer's Addicted to Love, Tom Petty's I Won't Back Down, Feargal Sharkey's A Good Heart, The Stranglers' Golden Brown, and even a banjo/mandolin-backed Ghostbusters ! (Hilarious, but also very good.)

As they seem to be touring England constantly if their newsletter is anything to be believed, I was wondering if anyone knew them and had seen them live, and what they sound like in concert. If it's anything like their albums, it must make for very good moments. Their epic anthems beg for a live rendering (and a good pint).
