New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Independent Music Media) "This record is about having faith in where we are headed" says Joe Scorsone, aka FLINTFACE explaining the reason that his upcoming album is titled Hope.
That message comes through loud and clear on Hope which will be released on July 22 on Tell The Rest Records. On songs like the sharply infectious "Army of Rejects," an energetic, rock-inspired anthem filled with soulful melodies, FLINTFACE reveals, "I want to build a community of people that carry each other. That's the 'Army of Rejects' in my mind. The message doesn't revolve around me. It revolves around the people and their stories. It's about embracing who you are as an individual and being okay with it."
Elsewhere the song "Ready For It" crafts an uplifting spirit with its chiming guitar lines and impressive vocal delivery. Lyrically, all nine songs that make up Hope are templates for a culture that is battling through challenging circumstances, as every single song contains nuggets of truth that will resonate, inspire, and even haunt the listener while at the same time have them singing along to every beat.
"It's about the listener and the different things we all face in life," says Joe "It's about always finding hope in those dark places. I want everyone to own these songs from their own point-of-view."
