Biography

Edit

Hoobastank formed in 1994 with members Douglas Robb (vocals, guitar), Dan Estrin (guitar), Chris Hesse (drums) and Markku Lappalainen (bass). They self-released an album They Sure Don't Make Basketball Shorts Like They Used To in 1998 after playing a variety of gigs in the local California area. On the strength of that album they were signed to Island in 2000.

By 2001 they had released the platinum selling Hoobastank and achieved success with the singles "Crawling in the Dark", "Running Away" and "Remember Me". "Losing My Grip" from the same album featured on the movie The Scorpion King.

The follow up album was 2003's The Reason and the title track became a massive hit and their seminal single.

Every Man for Himself was released in 2006 which failed to achieve the same acclaim as their previous album and a fourth album is planned for release in early 2009.
