Josh Brigham is the guitarist and founding member of the Charlotte, NC-based post-hardcore/melodic hardcore band Hopesfall. Started in 1998, the band was signed to Trustkill Records in 2002 and released the fan-favorite The Satellite Years. The group would go on to release three more albums under Trustkill before going on hiatus in 2007, only to play a reunion in 2011. However, the core group of the band would continue to write over the years, and in 2018 Hopesfall released Arbiter through Equal Visions. After performing at Furnace Fest both in 2021 and this year (2023), the band is now planning on releasing new music.
