Forged in the underground of Quebec in 1998, Hopeless Nation has built its name on raw honesty, explosive live energy, and an unshakable devotion to the heavy music that shaped them. Blending the ferocity of hardcore with the grit of metal, the band quickly carved out its place in the scene, culminating in Built from Scratch (2009), a landmark release that defined their most evolved sound. With over 250 shows behind them, Hopeless Nation has shared the stage with giants like 100 Demons, Bane, With Honor, Lofofora and more—earning a reputation for authenticity, intensity, and connection.

After nearly a decade of silence, the band roared back to life in the summer of 2024. A high-energy reunion show reignited everything—old chemistry, unrecorded riffs from 2014, and the hunger to rebuild from the ground up. This new chapter marks a return to roots, fueled by the same spirit that launched them, but sharpened by years of experience.

In 2025, Hopeless Nation unveils a trilogy of new singles, including Silverspoon—a release that bridges past and present. Engineered by Francis Perron at RadicArt (known for his work with Voïvod), these tracks channel unfiltered emotion: energy, reflection, and raw honesty. They also stand as a tribute to former members Jonathan Houle and Maxime Dupont, whose years of dedication on bass, guitar, and rhythm laid the foundation for the band’s evolution. Their legacy is woven into every note.

The band’s creative vision extends beyond the music. The Silverspoon music video—crafted entirely with AI—blends 1960s suburban nostalgia with cosmic chaos and surreal storytelling. A young boy with a silver spoon becomes a cult leader confronting space invaders and his own inner darkness. Bold, strange, and imaginative, it reflects the band’s willingness to push boundaries while staying real.

Hopeless Nation is deeply embedded in the Quebec metal and hardcore landscape. Louis-Simon leads punk hardcore veterans Genetic Error, while Steve DC and Guy Provencher carried the Canadian flag to Europe after winning the Wacken Metal Battle with Strigampire in 2024. This experience, combined with decades of stage warfare, reinforces the band’s credibility and relentless work ethic.

On stage, Hopeless Nation is a force of nature. No backing tracks. Nothing fake. Just amps, sweat, violence, and connection. Shows are known for furious headbanging, chair-throwing rituals, and immersive visual projections—turning every performance into a physical and emotional catharsis.

In 2025, Hopeless Nation is more alive than ever. Rekindled passion, new material, renewed purpose—this is a rebirth. A new cycle. The sound of a band reconnecting with who they were, who they are, and who they’re becoming.

Hopeless Nation electrifies with its passion for heavy music and explosive on-stage energy, embodying the raw essence of metal and hardcore crossover.
