I slutet av oktober släpper Dope sitt första studioalbum på sju år. Redan nu har man släppt ett smakprov på hur skivan kommer att låta i form av en video till låten Hold On. Bandets frontman Edsel Dope säger följande om låten:
I think that it’s fair to say that Dope is one of the more evolved bands from our genre and time period. Our new single, Hold On, is a great example of this. It sounds like Dope, but it is clearly very modern, and in no way reflects a band who is stuck in its past. The hooks are melodic and memorable, while the musicianship is on full display. I’m very proud of Dope’s ability to walk that evolutionary line.”
