New York City (1997 – present)
Dope was founded in 1997 and immediately exploded onto the New York City club scene. After only a handful of shows, Dope secured a major label deal with Epic / Flip Records in 1998. The band’s self-produced debut “Felons and Revolutionaries” was released in 1999 and nonstop touring fueled the band’s success. Dope did several national tours with acts likes Slipknot, Sevendust, Mudvayne, Fear Factory, Staind, Static-X, and Kid Rock earning Dope a reputation for being one of the most exciting live bands of the new millennium. Dope’s non-stop touring and impressive live performances helped their debut release to SoundScan more than 250,000 units, creating the foundation that they would continue to build on in the years to come.
Successful headlining tours and Dope’s second album “Life” followed in 2001. The band’s sound matured and the record was received with excellent reviews by both the media and fans alike. Unfortunately, the band’s two labels were not functioning well together anymore. The label support and focus was non-existent for Dope at this very crucial time and there was very little awareness surrounding the album’s release.
Instead of becoming bitter and fading into oblivion, Dope decided to take matters into their own hands. After confirming the band’s release from both of their original record deals, Dope quickly returned to the studio and created its third album “Group Therapy”; a collection of 13 new songs which included a full-length music video for every song on the album. With the major label jitters still fresh in their heads, Dope chose not to shop this new record to the record labels.

How is me saying that i think they`re overdoing it with the "badass public enemy" image "emo"? It`s as valid an opinion as someone posting "I LOVE DOPE!!!", yet, somehow you don`t seem to have a problem with those people "making themselves seen". You could at least try not to be so biased when giving other people shit and quoting over-used sayings.

Poser-ism? Congrats FuckReligion you made yourself visible.....is that what you wanted by posting such an emo shout? If yes than you can call yourself a successful reject. If not....well, let's just say there's one old, wise saying: De Gustibus et Coloribus non est disputandum.

These guys have attained a level of Poser-ism that hasn`t been seen since Kid Rock. Still, the music`s not half that bad...
