Energized, guitar shredding, melodic hardcore punk band. Named the best unsigned band in 2004 by Punknews.org, when Punknews Records started up about a year later Ryan's Hope were the second band signed on. The band formed in 2000 as a five piece hardcore outfit dubbed Bound. When that band fell apart, bassist Nick Mclenighan and guitarists Terry Morrow and Greg Alltop reformed as a more melodic rock band (with Alltop becoming the band's drummer and Morrow assuming vocal duties).
