Today’s song is “Hold On” by Dope.
Originally premiering on Revolver, Edsel Dope co-directed “Hold On” alongside his old friend and acclaimed video director Dale Rage Resteghini.
“I think that it’s fair to say that Dope is one of the more evolved bands from our genre & time period,” says Edsel. “Our new single, ‘Hold On,’ is a great example of this. It sounds like Dope, but it is clearly, very modern, and in no way reflects a band who is stuck in its past. The hooks are melodic and memorable, while the musicianship is on full display. I’m very proud of Dope’s ability to walk that evolutionary line.”
Dope is currently on their Revolver Magazine sponsored “Die Mother Fucker Die” Reunion Tour, featuring support from the bands Flaw and Motograter. The Dope reunion tour will feature the classic line up of Edsel Dope, Acey Slade, Virus, & Racci Shay. The tour winds through the US before finishing up at the legendary Whiskey A Go Go in West Hollywood on October 30th (see full dates below)
NY fans of Dope will be in for a treat this week as the band will be playing at Revolution in Amityville, NY on Thursday, October 13th.
This song is off their new LP Blood Money Part 1 due out October 28th via Entertainment One (eOne Music). The band is offering a plethora of bundle packages, meet and greets, and exclusive new merch designs available for pre-order.
