Hope Of The States - The Lost Riot (National Album Day - Battered Metal Colour Vinyl)

Originally released in 2004, The Lost Riots stands as a haunting and ambitious debut from Hope Of The States, blending post-rock grandeur with politically charged emotion and orchestral intensity. Marking its legacy as one of the most striking British albums of the early 2000s, it moves between moments of cathartic beauty and raw, urgent power — featuring standout tracks like “The Red The White The Black The Blue”, “Enemies/Friends”, and “George Washington.”

To celebrate National Album Day 2025, The Lost Riots is reissued on exclusive Battered Metal colour vinyl, honouring the album’s dark, defiant tone and cinematic scope. This special edition captures the spirit of the band’s vision — epic, poetic, and unafraid to confront the turmoil of its time — making it a collector’s essential for fans of post-rock, alt-rock, and the art of the album itself.
