Anthony Hope is a powerful Norwegian band with a love for catchy tunes. The guys met in 2010 and have since then traveled far and wide. Sleeping in German fire stations, breaking cars on the Norwegian highway, climbing mountains, or opening doors in France, they will always be searching for the sounds that will make you dance, scream and make love all night.

Quotes
- “Boys will be boys—And even that ... wouldn't matter if only we could prevent girls from being girls.”
- “The blemishes on honourable lineage are a delicate subject, and certainly this heredity we hear so much about is the finest scandalmonger in the world; it laughs at discretion, and writes strange entries between the lines of the “Peerages”.”
- ““The difference between you and Robert,” said my sister-in-law, who often (bless her!) speaks on a platform, and oftener still as if she were on one, “is that he recognizes the duties of his position, and you see the opportunities of yours.”“To a man of spirit, my dear Rose,” I answered, “opportunities are duties.””
- “For my part, if a man must needs be a knave, I would have him a debonair knave, and I liked Rupert Hentzau better than his long-faced, close-eyed companions. It makes your sin no worse, as I conceive, to do it à la mode and stylishly.”

Encyclopedic overview
Sir Anthony Hope Hawkins (9 February 1863 – 8 July 1933), better known as Anthony Hope, was a British novelist and playwright. He was a prolific writer, especially of adventure novels but he is remembered predominantly for only two books: The Prisoner of Zenda (1894) and its sequel Rupert of Hentzau (1898).
These works, "minor classics" of English literature, are set in the contemporaneous fictional country of Ruritania and spawned the genre known as Ruritanian romance, books set in fictional European locales similar to the novels. Zenda has inspired many adaptations, most notably the 1937 Hollywood movie of the same name and the 1952 version.
