Sandbag Records is proud to announce the signing of Rich Hope - Canada’s number one “dirty blues” troubadour. Coast to coast, Hope has been lickin’ the grease off southern BBQ grills with lightning fast fingers that keep the G chord sizzling with juicy slide guitar treats for all to swing and shake. After his high ranking in London’s prestigious “Blues Matters Top 50 Blues Albums of 2006”, Hope has recently finished recording his much anticipated third record, to be released in late 2008 under Sandbag Records. With city-slickin’ sidekick, and self proclaimed conspiracy theorist Adrian Mack, bashing a vintage Grestch kit by his side, Rich Hope is a blues man for, by, and of the people – a new face for old dirty Blues – the way it’s supposed to be.
"There's a bunch of people who play what they call "Blues" who just play Blues clubs and play just like every other band. It's not really my scene. It's a bit stale. I prefer it a little shittier. The Blues is a dirty girl...”
–Rich Hope (Darren Howells - Blues Matters, London).�
The Manvils are in the studio (May-July ‘08) recording their second full-length album with producer Ryan Dahle and engineer Terry Murray. Please check out the artist page to listen to a pre-release demo version of “Strange Disaster.”�
