Olympic Hopefuls Now Just Hopeful

(Filed under: Music News)

Rising Twin Cities band the Olympic Hopefuls aren't so olympic anymore, thanks to a threat of legal action from the U.S. Olympic Committee. Apparently the word "olympic" was trademarked by Congress in 1950. The band is continuing on as the Hopefuls.

Unfortunately the Hopefuls were unable to work out an agreement like the Postal Service has.

You can hear the Hopefuls on iTunes or purevolume.
