First Entry! A Hope For Home Signs with Strike First Records!

We are pleased to announce that we have signed with Strike First/Facedown Records! After 2 years of being a 100% DIY group we have finally been given an awesome chance to take the next step in the industry, and we can't be more excited. The Facedown family is a great place for us and we humbly follow in the footsteps of 2 other important Facedown Portland bands, Inked In Blood and Brutal Fight.


We will be re-releasing 'The Everlasting Man' on January 20th. I know a some of you already have it, so we decided to spice it up a little bit.
The re-release will have:
-2 New Songs
-Remixed
-Remastered
-Brand New Artwork
It is up for preorder now in the Facedown Records online store-check that out here- http://facedown. merchnow. com/
and while you're at it, add them on myspace! www. myspace. com/strikefirstrecords

Also, we are having a CD re-release show at the Satyricon in Portland on January 24th, 2009. More info on that soon.
We are also going to be filming a video in Seattle this weekend for "Iniquity: An Offering" so be checking back for that soon! And of course we will be back on tour next year hopefully around February so check back for dates!

We need your support now more than ever. The music industry is at a very interesting place right now, and we believe one thing that has plagued the Major Labels has been the tendency to look at the listener as part of a larger group of people that make up a mechanical, predictable consumer base, and just create products to throw out at you with little or no value. We have always felt that music should be something that is valued and can stand for something, and we want to present our music to you with as much heart as we can. We feel partnering with the Strike First/Facedown team will only strengthen that ideal, and the way to create lasting art is to be honest and create without pretense.
Thank you all for your continued support (and for reading this far!) And we will see you on the road next year!

Nathan, Matt, Tanner, Dan, Eric, and Ian
