Sprouting from a shared passion for cinema and eclectic musical roots, Hopeful Sixteen is a Canadian Alt/Metalcore act that blends the beauty of feminine pop with the raw energy of metal towards an exploration of the unreached desires of the unconscious.

Over 10 years of experience, fueled by founder and singer Stephanie Auclair's single-minded vision, Hopeful Sixteen played across a hundred stages all over Canada, building a solid online following along the way, with 10 000 social media followers, 32 000 Spotify streams and 76 000 YouTube views.

Their latest EP, Delusion, produced by Slaves On Dope's Kevin Jardine, was a turning point for their career. The band's darker, more mature tone resonated with a new audience and caught the attention of established musicians and producers such as Tyler Smith and Taylor Larson, who provided precious insight to strengthen the songs. An ad campaign was also made by Kristen Sturgis to support the formation.

The band shared the stage with Three Days Grace, Alexisonfire, Guttermouth, August Burns Red, The Veer Union, Despised Icon, Voivod, Comeback Kid, Grimskunk, Picturesque, Secrets and more.
