Faith & Hope
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Faith & Hope is an independent record label which was founded in 1997 by Neil Claxton (Mint Royale) and his friend, David Wood. With an ethos of honesty and realism, Faith & Hope’s acts vary massively in style but all fall under the banner of ‘alternative pop’. The acts hover anywhere between electronica and rock, between the individual and band-driven. Determined to release inspirational music without spending a lot doing it, Faith & Hope were one of the first labels to champion the lo-fi creativity of the burgeoning ‘bedroom musician’ ethic as their starting point.
Faith & Hope’s roster now includes: Morning Runner, Mint Royale, National Forest, Beats For Beginners, Shirokuma, Los Paranoias, and Grand Transmitter. Back catalogue artists include Alpinestars, Budnubac, AN-2, Nightclubbing, DJ Dan & Grandadbob, Subaqwa and LC Anderson Vs Psycho Radio. Faith & Hope remains resolutely independent and genuinely unpredictable in its tastes.
