New Hope Club, also known as NHC, is a British band consisting of members Blake Richardson, George Smith, and Reece Bibby. Nominated as Next Big Thing at the 2017 Teen Choice Awards, their moody pop-rock sound has quickly endeared them to fans, with their debut EP, Welcome to the Club, spending ten weeks on Billboard charts and peaking at No 5 in late 2017. Singles like ‘Good Day’ and ‘Tiger Feet’ were featured on the soundtrack for the award-winning, 2018 animated film Early Man, while the hugely popular tracks ‘Crazy’ and ‘Medicine’ were used to promote their second album, Welcome to the Club Pt.2, released in October 2018.
Formerly a member of the X-Factor band Stereo Kicks, Reece joined members Blake and George in 2015 after his former group disbanded, and they soon gained attention for their cover of The Vamps’ ‘Wake Up’, a release that led to the band being signed by Vamps’ Steady Records. The band has since played sold-out shows at O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire, headlined in Manila, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, and Bangkok, and opened for The Vamps, Tini Stoessel, and Sabrina Carpenter.
New Hope Club recently released a new single, ‘Permission’, and has both new music and further shows planned for 2019.
