[3] Like their previous album Decomposer, A Band in Hope features multiple producers, though fewer this time around.

According to frontman Shawn Harris' blog, the album was created in a period of despair due to the record sales of Decomposer.

The next day the video for the first single "Wake the Sun" was released exclusively on Yahoo!

The video for "Yankee in a Chip Shop" was supposed to debut on MySpace Music on August 29, 2008.

However, due to issues with the London Metropolitan Police that singer/guitarist Shawn Harris detailed in a blog post, including police that Harris were "rent-a-cops" who took the band members' names and had CCTV tapes of the band "running down the middle of the huge roundabout at Piccadilly Circus that was the video's finale", the video was removed shortly after its posting.
