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.

Together
Last Hope Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Punk & Hardcore
Friendship
Unity
Respect
Me, You, We - all together
Divisions, divisions, where it will end
Old school, New school what a difference does it make
Hardcore, Straight Edge, Punk or just a kid
Call yourself whatever but you gotta learn to get along and fit
All together stand as one!
Keep the spirit unified!
The first thing that immediately stands out when reading the lyrics to "Together" by Last Hope is the repetition of the words "Punk & Hardcore" throughout the song. This repetition acts as a call to arms for those who identify with the punk and hardcore scenes to come together in friendship, unity, and respect. The song emphasizes the importance of putting differences aside, whether they be generational (old school vs. new school) or subcultural (hardcore, straight edge, punk), and learning to coexist within a larger community.
In addition to promoting solidarity within the punk and hardcore scenes, "Together" also implores its listeners to stand up against divisions and to keep the spirit of unity alive. The line "Divisions, divisions, where will it end?" suggests that allowing for divisions to persist could lead to further fracturing and infighting. By encouraging his listeners to come together and stand as one, the singer emphasizes the importance of collective action and the power of a united front.
