Hope of the states the lost riots hidden track
The Lost Riots is the debut album by Chichester-based rock band Hope of the States. Released to widespread critical acclaim in 2004, it was a bittersweet moment for the band following the suicide of guitarist James Lawrence in January 2004. The album was recorded at studios in Ireland, and thought to be recorded partly in Russia, before the finishing touches were put together at Real World Studios in Bath.

The hidden track "A Crack Up at the Race Riots" can be accessed by leaving the album to play or by fast-forwarding, after the last official song "1776". Shortly after the 10-minute mark, the song begins; it is the 'fastest' sounding song on the album and also the darkest. The name is based on a book by Harmony Korine and for legal reasons, the band couldn't include as a proper track.
