1) Last Hope is a Bulgarian hardcore band set up in 1994. With their very first demo-album, Last Hope succeeded in getting the attention of the Bulgarian audience. A year later the band gathered with their "brothers in arms" Face Up and together camе with a split-album, winning much more respect.
After their start in 1998, Last Hope got in a studio to record their official debut album "One for One". Concerts followed in the whole country and in the end of 2000 their first video was ready. 2001 is unusually good year for Last Hope, because of their participation in festivals in countries like Austria, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia and Greece. The European invasion is followed by records of new songs for the compilation "3-Way Split" (featuring Vendetta and Skinflick), and a little bit later the four band members created their second album "My Own Way". Alongside many bands from the Bulgarian hardcore and punk scene like Vendetta, Crowfish, Skinflick, Not Broken in Spirit, the biggest impression made the massive foreign presence with Janne from the Finnish hardcore pride Endstand, Aca Choice from the Serbian old school champions Hitman and mostly Jimmy G from the NY legends Murphy's Law.
After the release in the spring of 2003, came one of the most beneficial periods in Last Hope’s career, at least regarding their live performances. Now, after 13 years of playing Last Hope are leaders on native stage. And not just on it – they’ve played all across Europe and got on one stage with artists like Napalm Death, Madball, Stampin' Ground, D.R.I., Integrity, Murphy's Law, Agnostic Front, Sick of It All, Merauder, Caliban, Sworn Enemy and many more.
Last Hope's latest album to date - "Test Of Time" - was released in 2007.

Last Hope Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ALL TOGETHER HERE WE GO!
What's going in the world today?
Don't want to participate
Don't want to take part in something that I hate
I see a system failed, humanity enslaved
It doesn't work for us it's time to make a change
I WANNA RIOT ALL UNITED
ALL TOGETHER HERE WE GO!
We won't accept the blame, generation sacrifliced
Politicians play their game society's gone mad
Corruption everywhere, lying greedy governments
Brainwashing media - how much we have to wait
I WANNA RIOT ALL UNITED
ALL TOGETHER HERE WE GO!
Their system doesn't work for us
I'm not a communist - no way no
Not an anarchist - nothing like this
Fuckin' pseudo-radicals, I won't support such false ideas
I'm just a person like anyone else
I don't want to be oppressed
Don't want to be controlled and pay more taxes for their wealth
Don't believe a word they say, fuck their authority!
Everything is profit there, this ain't no real democracy
The lyrics to "Riot" by Last Hope speak directly to a desire for change in a world filled with corruption, lies, and inequality. The song's verses highlight the failure of the current system and the enslavement of humanity, indicating that the time has come for a revolution to wake people up and create a better future, where everyone is equal and united. The chorus features the line "I wanna riot all united, all together here we go!" which emphasizes the collective strength of a united people.
The second verse of the song talks about how the current system blames younger generations, politicians play games, and society has gone mad, with corruption everywhere. The media is also complicit, brainwashing people and preventing them from seeing the truth. The chorus repeats the same message of unity, underscoring the need for all individuals to come together to protest the existing system as it doesn't work for us.
The final verse of the song is particularly interesting because it clarifies the message of the song. The singer is not a communist or anarchist, but merely a person who wants to live in a society that isn't oppressive or unfair. The false ideas of "pseudo-radicals" are called out, and the singer wants a real democracy where everything is not based solely on profit. The lyrics pack a punch with their directness and honesty.
