Fort Hope formed from the ashes of My Passion, and ‘Courage’
is their brilliant debut album, proving that they’ve matured both musically and
lyrically.
Opening track ‘Rapture’ is melodic and relaxed, contrasting
to any previous ventures. This sets the tone for the album, but it is anything
but boring. Jon Gaskin’s vocals are harmonic yet hard-hitting, especially in
rock anthem ‘New Life’.
‘Control’ is the stand-out track, with well-written lyrics
and a catchy guitar riff.
With an album that isn’t too melodic or too heavy, the Bedfordshire four piece are almost impossible not to like.
Rating: 9
‘Courage’ is out now, via LAB Records.
