1.	Restart 02:12	lyrics	buy track
I’m not mad at who chose me to be the last of a dying breed I carried the torch outside in the pouring rain And still (and still) was blamed (was blamed) Blamed when we didn’t succeed I've been trying to find the answers I'm not who I was And neither are you We’ve fallen apart What you overcome you are I just wish that I could (restart) I am a wrecking ball But is it my fault? Who gave destruction a home? But no chapter is a single page I have lost track of the days I have been trying to change my ways But some things will never change
2.	Hatred Of Doubt (Feat. Bryan Harris) 02:04	lyrics	buy track
Only the strong will survive What else did you have in mind? We’ve been fighting to stay alive We've been fighting for so long I wish May could be forgotten But I will see you soon in June This one is for all of those Who left us way too soon Here and now is what it's all about I look back at the days and wish you were still around Here and now is where we find ourselves I look back at the days and hope I make you proud But don't get me wrong I’ve known this all long But don’t get me wrong I’ve known this Dead in my tracks the past went by in a flash The strong will go on but tough times never last The time we spend we will never get back So cut yourself some fucking slack Believe in the hatred of doubt You need to believe in yourself Believe in the hatred of doubt You need to believe in yourself
3.	Maybe 01:54	lyrics	buy track
What I saw in you (I have lost sight) Maybe I am wrong, or maybe I thought this would be the last time I should be dead (dead) But I am here tonight It’s hard to look up without looking back Is it true that the pain is not that bad? I have found that I am constantly off track It's so hard to look up without looking back What I saw in you (I have lost sight) Maybe I am wrong, or maybe Mother fucker, maybe I am right Or maybe just maybe ugh What a feeling, what are we missing? To lose hope in what (we believe in)
4.	Curmudgeon (Feat. Chris Cesarini) 02:05	lyrics	buy track
The pain was real I guess some wounds may never heal The way that it feels The weight we bear won’t be revealed I have felt so lost my whole life But this right here is home When nothing has ever felt right I know that I am not alone What is this all for? Make me an offer Im sitting here Fucking dead in the water We’re not getting younger We’re all going under But not just yet Make it a little farther I don't know when I will find the piece of life that I can't find I know it will be close to where I have some peace of mind I still have ten fingers and toes And my eyes aren't permanently closed I don't know when I will find the piece of life that I can't find I know it will be close to where I have some peace of mind This world, has me, broken bitter inside I fought, for truth, when it didn't feel right Im not, perfect, but at least I fucking tried
5.	Give Up Hope 02:30	lyrics	buy track
Good things come to those who wait So why do I feel like I’m gonna be late? Thanks for trying to hold me down But I’ve swam enough not to fucking drown Good things come to those who wait So why do I feel like I’m gonna be late? Thanks for trying to hold me down But I’ve swam enough not to fucking drown I don't know when, but all of a sudden A string inside of me has broken It was attached to something close I never thought that it would show I don't know when, but all of a sudden A string inside of me has broken It was attached to something close I never thought that it would show I never thought that it would show But the truth is the proof That we refuse to know I never thought that it would show I will never (give up hope) I just wanted (you to know)
6.	Your Turn 02:30	lyrics	buy track
You turned your back on me When I needed you the most right now It’s just funny how you spun yourself All the way the fuck around I confided in myself for so long I thought I had the answers I got so used to being on my own It was my only option All exemptions were forgotten Every shred of hope A place I could call home I never took this for granted Where I am right now I know without a doubt I never could, have imagined You turned your back on me When I needed you the most right now It’s just funny how you turned yourself All the way the fuck around You wouldn’t care if I failed Mother fucker the check is in the mail
7.	A Pound Of Sand 01:42	lyrics	buy track
What a disadvantage all these years To give everyone else the benefit of the doubt All I ever wanted was lift you up But doing that just brought me south What a difference the things I've done for you And the fucking shit that came out your mouth I feel so lost I feel disgusted I can't seem to trust a fucking compass I've been holding on as tight as I can This fell through my hands like a pound of sand I've been trying to find myself (but I don't know how) I was surrounded (But look whos here now)

about

GIVE UP HOPE are the newest member of the 1054 roster !!! Yet another killer band from Boston these guys bring some heavy unrelenting Metal inspired Hardcore the way it should be done !!

"To Those Who Wait" is their debut album for 1054 Records to be released digitally on Sept 15th 2023 with a limited edition CD press to follow in the near future.

GIVE UP HOPE consists of Jared Boudakian guitars (ex Setback / When Reason Fails), Pat Azzola drums (ex Burden / Born From Demise) Ryan Kearney bass (ex Setback) and Cam Newton vocals (ex Lost Sight)

Originally Formed in 2007 by Jared Boudakian and Pat Azzola. After spending several years playing and touring we went on hiatus for about 13 years. In late 2019 Jared and Pat started writing music for a new project. Not really sure where we wanted to go, we noticed we were still writing music the same way we did in 2007. We decided to revive the band name, write all new music and add all new members. We added Ryan on bass who played bass with Jared in a band in the early 2000s. And Cam who sang for Pat's older band Burden. It's only that when all the members were locked in, did we acquire our sound and vibe. Jared and Pat also play in another band, Cold Case BHC. Where Jared plays bass and Pat still plays drums.

Our influences include alot of thrash and cross over. Bands like Slayer, Testament, S.O.D, Anthrax, Madball, Shattered Realm, Full Blown Choas, Sepultura, Sick of it all, Comback Kid, Agnostic Front, Hatebreed, Terror, Recon, Judge, Death Before Dishonor, The Red Chord, Unearth, Biohazard, Nofx, Rancid, The Germs, C.O.A, Suicidal Tendencies, Mercyful Fate, Strife, Integrity, Blood For Blood.

We grew up in the 80's. We've seen the roots of hardcore evolve into what we all know and love today.
