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 ↴
Fools that jump around just to get some reputation
Ain't get acceptance of the scene
Cause we know they're all friendly wimps
First we heard they're strictly underground
Next we see them selling out their hearts
What is the new fad, what is the trend?
Today you're here, tomorrow gone
I step to you and make it clear we always stand alone
What the fuck are you doing here
Ruin' our scene - isn't that clear
Better go home, leave us alone
Today you're here - Tomorrow gone
I see many clowns that claim to be so hard
weak minded suckers try to push their crap
Originality is what they really lack
We do our own thing, which they'll never understand
Why don't you take a rest and step correct
For the style we bring you you gotta pay respect
You can't compare to us - we take no shit
Don't try to still us, cause you're so weak
What the fuck are you doing here
Ruin' our scene - isn't that clear
Better go home, leave us alone
Today you're here - Tomorrow gone
Fake image, false sound - this is just a bunch of crap
You won't fullfill that dream of superstar
The lyrics of Wannabe by Last Hope are a criticism of individuals who are trying too hard to fit into the underground scene.

The lyrics advocate for originality as opposed to imitation, and encourage respect for those who have taken the time to create their own unique style. The band communicates that the scene should not be about selling-out to make fame and money but about true passion.
Overall, the message being conveyed by Last Hope is that those who are true to their own individual styles and passionate enough to stick to their guns are the ones who will stand out and eventually succeed.
