Formed in high school by songwriting partners Inaxio Abecia and Jake Rodger, in 2022 they recruited powerful lead vocalist Mollie Stevenson, who has amassed over twenty-three thousand followers on TikTok. They then released their volcanic debut single 'Echo' in July 2023. Inspired by a fan who was being bullied online, 'Echo' defiantly introduced Conflict Hope to the world and went on to be praised by the likes of Jim Gellatly and feature in publications such as 'Illustrate Magazine’ and ‘It's All Indie’.

Conflict Hope returned with their ferocious new single ‘Petrified’. This bombastic track sees the band explore new sonic territories, choosing a more groove-orientated musical approach, with doo-wop style vocal hooks, that detonate into an infectious bouncing guitar and drum rhythm, preparing you for what’s to come.

Within the same year, devastated by the sudden loss of Mollie's Grandfather, songwriters Jake Rodger and Inaxio Abecia crafted the emotional ballad 'Won't Disappear', in hope pf providing comfort to Mollie and her family. Inaxio's haunting piano chords, strings, and harmonised guitar solo set the stage for Jake's lyrics and melodies, which navigate the stages of grief—from sadness and shock in the first verse to denial, acceptance, and even anger in the choruses. Mollie’s heartfelt performance is highlighted by an audio clip of her and her grandfather laughing together, adding a poignant final touch before the last chorus. The song gained traction from various press, with a feature in both 'Plastic Mag' and 'Illustrate Magazine'.
