ORIGINS: (Words by Saam Das)
Once upon a time, I was bored and decided that it might be a good idea to start up a music blog. Despite absolutely sod all knowledge of what to do. That was Keep Hope Inside. And that was 2006.
Fast forward a few years and Keep Hope Inside became FADED GLAMOUR, also supplementing the music writing with a new found passion for film and television.. Since the change, I've even introduced new writers and the blog will hopefully continue onto bigger and better things.
We showcase new artists, rave about trailers, giveaway mp3s, review films, highlight underappreciated bands, moan about the telly, do podcasts, run competitions and so much more. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.
