The Hope Conspiracy will enter the studio this weekend to record a new full-length. Kurt Ballou will produce and engineer the effort at his Godcity studio in Salem, MA. According to the band, the album will feature "old and new members" and will be available through Equal Vision Records in 2006. Meanwhile, the group will play a rare U.S. show at ICC Church in Boston, MA on February 11th with Paint It Black, among others. Additionally, bassist Jonas Feinberg had the following to say regarding some recent overseas shows: "We just came home from a few shows (UK and Iceland), previewed some new songs and did NOT get booed off the stage, and had an all around amazing time."
