Joe Manzione was originally a bass player in the NY/NJ music scene. However, after several bands with groove-less drummers, Joe's impatience and frustration led him to start drumming himself. Teaching himself how to play by jamming along with The Descendents' records, Joe Manzione quickly made a name for himself.



Seven years, many studio sessions and hundreds of gigs later, a producer that worked with Joe knew that the hard-core/rock pioneers Hopesfall (Trustkill Records) were looking for a new drummer. Shortly after swapping contact information, Hopesfall welcomed Joe to the family.



Joe Manzione and Hopesfall have already toured with bands Vanna (Epitaph), The Receiving End of Sirens (Triple Crown) and Emanuel (Vagrant).
