20 years ago I wandered into a tent at V Festival fresh from a banging Goldie Lookin Chain set the moment Hope of the States started The Black Amnesias and it truly unlocked something in me.
2 years later they broke up without me seeing them again...
This has been a long time coming!

They were so hyped by the NME at the time and then they never really took off - album came out just after their guitarist killed himself didn’t it, which I assume must’ve played a part in them then not carrying on.
I was 22 when they were about and it was probably 3-4 years too late for me to get swept up in it.
I had the album though and just remember they were going to be the next big thing but never did become it.
