Formed in the mid-1990s in the Los Angeles suburb of Agoura Hills, while the quartet was still in high school, Hoobastank has since grown into a songwriting machine.
Their band doesn’t have a normal name, but the four guys of Hoobastank are normal guys. They have normal lives, they do normal things, and they have the same sense of humor as their fans. That’s why Hoobastank—guitarist Dan Estrin, bassist Markku Lappalainen, drummer Chris Hesse, and singer Doug Robb—connect with them. Their songs have that intangible ability to speak for and to the things that normal kids think and feel.
Their first album went platinum thanks to the hit singles “Crawling in the Dark” and “Running Away.” But with their second album, “The Reason,” it shows that they’re songwriters of uncommon talent, with a broader palette of songs, moods, and emotions than their self-titled debut. It’s called progressing.
This band gets their great sound by using Dean Markley Alchemy Gold Bronze CL, Blue Steel Electric MED and DT, and NPS Roundcore Bass MED 5-string.
