False Hope

False Hope is an American band from Ohio

History

False Hope originally started in 1982 after a lineup & name change from Chris Smith and Dana Embrose's earlier project Groin. The first lineup under the False Hope name was Chris Smith on bass, Bryan Lehr on drums, Robbie Spira on vocals, and Dana Embrose on guitar. Recorded a 4 song demo before Chris joined Smear The Queer and False Hope disbanded. False Hope then formed what would be known as thier original lineup in 1986, with Greg Cancassi on drums, Scott Eakin on guitar, Dave Evey on vocals, and Chris Smith on bass. This lineup recorded the "Cease To Exist" demo at Beat Farm Studios. In 1987 Chris Smith started playing guitar for False Hope, along with the new second guitar player Scott Silverman. At the same time Dave Araca joined as the band bass player. In 1988 Greg Cancassi left the band so Dave Araca started playing drums for the band and Sam Lopiccolo joined as the new bass player. This lineup (Evey, Smith, Lopiccolo, Araca) recorded the "Guilty of Everything" demo in 1989, and some other never-released tracks in 1990. After Dave Evey left the band in 1990, the remaining members formed the band Asphalt

False Hope also had several other songs never recorded in the studio. Some of these songs are "Time Defies", "Promises, Promises", "Dead Stop", "Try", and "Over & Over".

Chemically Retarded recorded 2 songs ("Agony of Defeat" and "Peer Pressure") for an obscure compilation called "Consumer Blackmail Vol. 2". One of the songs, "Agony Of Defeat", was later recorded by False Hope on the "Cease To Exist" demo (1987).
