Dope was founded in 1997 and immediately exploded onto the NYC club scene. After only a handful of shows, Dope secured a major label deal with Epic / Flip Records in 1998. The band’s self-produced debut “Felons and Revolutionaries†was released in 1999 and nonstop touring fueled the band’s success. Dope did several national tours with acts likes Slipknot, Sevendust, Mudvayne, Fear Factory, Staind, Static-X, and Kid Rock earning Dope a reputation for being one of the most exciting, young live bands of the new millennium. Dope’s non-stop touring and impressive live performances helped their debut release to SoundScan more than 250,000 units, creating the foundation that they would continue to build on in the years to come.
