Play of the day – Back Teeth are the Ultimate Worriers

While you're listening to the melodies and soaring vocals you are taken to a place that involves bodies having on the dance floor, everyone picking each other up, fists in the air at defiance of where our worlds are heading and taking us to where we really want to be.

Hope Collective is a collective based in Dublin, Ireland.  We put on d.i.y. gigs in Ireland’s Capital.  We were a lot more active in the last Century and while we are older and slower now we are still firm believers in the old adage – DO IT YOURSELF
