Conflict Hope release new single

Coming out of the Scottish alternative rock scene, Conflict Hope has quickly made a name for themselves by creating what they call ‘rock music that heals.’ Formed in high school by songwriting partners Inaxio Abecia and Jake Rodger, the band finalised their sound with the addition of lead vocalist Mollie Stevenson, who brings her powerful voice to the mix.

Drawing inspiration from rock giants like Biffy Clyro and Royal Blood, Conflict Hope combines emotionally charged lyrics with soaring choruses, melodic guitars and driving drum rhythms to craft music that connects deeply with their audience. Since their debut single “Echo” in July 2023, Conflict Hope has been on a steady rise, with each release building upon their reputation for creating deeply personal and emotionally raw music.

Their sophomore outing, “Begin to Heal,” was a poignant exploration of mental health struggles, earning them praise from the likes of Ben Wells of Black Stone Cherry. The band’s subsequent release, “Petrified,” showcased their versatility, blending groove-focused rhythms with power pop vocal hooks and demonstrated their ability to write stadium-ready rock anthems.

Now, Conflict Hope has returned with their latest single, “Won’t Disappear,” a deeply personal track inspired by the passing of Mollie Stevenson’s grandfather. This track is a departure from the high-energy rock anthems the band has been known for, instead offering a more reflective and tender exploration of grief and loss.

Produced by Mark Tindal at Open Eyes Productions, “Won’t Disappear” perfectly distils Conflict Hope’s ability to channel personal pain into music that is not only cathartic for the band but also offers solace to their listeners. The song is a reminder of the band’s ethos, creating music that heals and it stands as one of their most powerful releases to date.

From the delicate piano-driven opening where Mollie spins emotive melodies with lyrics that speak straight to the heart, the arrangement gently swells around her voice with orchestral strings and punchy drums. Flowing into an indie rock anthem, the crunch of guitars inject a rousing energy as the track builds to a powerful crescendo capped by slick lead guitar flourishes as Mollie’s voice soars. It’s a spectacular display of their songwriting flair, brought to life by an enthralling arrangement and performance that confirms the hype that surrounds this exciting band on the rise.
