Artist of the Week is The Hope, The Fear
Our Artist of the Week is The Hope,The Fear.
Leeds-based multi-instrumentalist The Hope,The Fear (Alex Fletcher) delivers a powerful debut with his EP ‘Die Northern’, which was released in April 2025. Blending heartland rock with soaring indie textures, Fletcher channels the grit and pride of Northern-working-class life into bold, anthemic songs.
Standout track ‘You Should Know’ is a cathartic, Springsteen-inspired release – balancing nostalgia, resilience, and defiant hope. Rooted in themes of identity, community, and perseverance, Fletcher’s music speaks to anyone fighting to carve out a future against the odds.

Named a BBC Introducing Hot Tip and Crash Records One to Watch for 2025, ‘Die Northern’ marks a confident arrival from an artist turning raw truth into cinematic sound.
