Hoobastank (sometimes stylized as h∞bastank, and originally known as Hoobustank){{ipac-en|h|uː|b|ə|s|t|æ|n|k}} is an American rock band formed in 1994 in Agoura Hills, California, by lead vocalist Doug Robb, guitarist Dan Estrin, drummer Chris Hesse, and original bassist Markku Lappalainen. They were signed to Island Records from 2001 to 2012 and have released six albums and one extended play to date. Their most recent album, Push Pull, was released in May 2018. They have sold 10 million albums worldwide.
History
=Early career (1994–2000)=
Vocalist Doug Robb had known guitarist Dan Estrin for some time before competing against him in a high school battle of the bands competition and subsequently, they decided to form a band.{{cite web|url=http://www.popsyndicate.com/index.php/site/story/playing_with_knives_chris_hesse_of_hoobastank/ |title=Playing With Knives: Chris Hesse of Hoobastank |publisher=PopSyndicate.com |access-date=November 7, 2006 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070111155332/http://www.popsyndicate.com/index.php/site/story/playing_with_knives_chris_hesse_of_hoobastank/ |archive-date=January 11, 2007 |url-status=dead |df=mdy }} They then recruited Markku Lappalainen and Chris Hesse to form Hoobastank.
The band has provided a variety of explanations for the origin of the band's unusual name, and it is unclear where it originated from. Claims have included that it is a mispronunciation of a German street, slang for someone who owns many sneakers, or a word the band came up with while they were "joking around."{{cite web|url=https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-xpm-2002-03-08-0203060887-story.html|title=SO WHAT, REALLY, IS A HOOBASTANK?|date=March 8, 2002 |publisher=sun-sentinel.com |access-date=April 4, 2022}}
Hoobastank started playing gigs at the local venue Cobalt Cafe along with Incubus and Linkin Park. They recorded their first full-length self-released album in 1998 called They Sure Don't Make Basketball Shorts Like They Used To, which features a saxophone section headed by Jeremy Wasser, who executive produced the album and recorded the "Summer Romance" saxophone solo on Incubus' S.C.I.E.N.C.E. album. The Incubus connections continued with Fourth Street Recording's music producer Jim Wirt and logos and visual design by Brett Spivey.
By this stage, Hoobastank had developed a strong reputation in Southern California. This attracted interest from Island Records, who subsequently signed the band in 2000. At the time of signing, the band had completed a second full-length album, titled Forward, also featuring Jeremy Wasser. However, the band felt that the direction they were heading in would work best without a sax, so Wasser departed the band and the album was shelved. A few tracks were rerecorded for release on the band's self-titled 2001 release. The original recordings from the Forward sessions made their way to the Internet via peer to peer sites in late 2001.
=''Hoobastank'' (2001–2002)=
Hoobastank released their self-titled debut album in November 2001. The first single was "Crawling in the Dark", which was a breakthrough hit, reaching No. 68 on the Billboard Hot 100, No. 3 on the Modern Rock chart, No. 7 on the Mainstream Rock chart{{cite magazine|url=https://billboard.com/bbcom/retrieve_chart_history.do?model.vnuArtistId=470278&model.vnuAlbumId=612770 |title=Billboard.com |magazine=Billboard |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071225092120/http://billboard.com/bbcom/retrieve_chart_history.do?model.vnuArtistId=470278&model.vnuAlbumId=612770 |archive-date=December 25, 2007 }} and No. 1 on an MP3.com download chart in early 2002. Also, the song was featured in the 2002 inline skating game, Aggressive Inline, appearing on the Xbox, PlayStation 2 and GameCube consoles. The second single "Running Away" was even more successful, reaching No. 44 on the Billboard Hot 100, No. 2 on the Modern Rock chart, No. 9 on the Mainstream Rock chart and No. 3 on the MP3.com download chart. The Hoobastank album went Platinum due to these hit singles and reached No. 25 on the Billboard 200 album charts and No. 1 on the Billboard Heatseeker chart.
The album achieved recognition internationally with the band touring in Europe and Asia in support of the record. "Remember Me", the third single released from this album, was a moderate hit, reaching No. 23 on the Modern Rock charts. The band made a song titled "Losing My Grip" for the soundtrack of the movie The Scorpion King.
=''The Reason'' (2003–2005)=
In early 2003, the group contributed the song "Right Before Your Eyes" to Daredevil: The Album. The band then entered the studio with producer Howard Benson. Recording was disrupted for a month when Dan Estrin was seriously injured in a minibike accident in August. Estrin had recovered by October and the band headed off on a Nokia Unwired Tour with The All-American Rejects and Ozomatli in November.
Their second album The Reason was released in December 2003. The single "Out of Control" was made available for download on the band's website. Doug Robb said on the band's website: "A lot of it is about asking questions or questioning all that people see. It's not all about religion. "Out of Control" is about that and about opening your eyes after being blinded by being devoted to anything." "Same Direction" would reach No. 9 on the US Modern Rock chart, No. 16 on the Mainstream Rock chart and No. 16 on a composite World Modern Rock chart (based on the US, Germany, Sweden, Finland, Canada, and Australia). A year later, the Let It Out DVD collected the band's videos. "The Reason" was put to a popular music video on Tangle.{{cite web|url=http://www.tangle.com/view_video.php?viewkey=acb74a48e2a0a871be96 |title=A reason to live - Today's Christian Videos |publisher=Tangle.com |access-date=October 18, 2011}}
"The Reason" was released as a single in the first half of 2004. It became a hit, reaching No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, No. 1 on the US and World Modern Rock charts, No. 10 in Australia, No. 12 in the United Kingdom and No. 15 in Germany. In Canada, it spent 21 weeks at the top, setting a new record for most weeks at No. 1. Meanwhile, in the United States, the album reached No. 3 on the Billboard 200 album chart.
The band's international profile was increased by a support slot on Linkin Park's Meteora world tour in early 2004.
Bassist Markku Lappaleinen left the band following their 2005 Summer Tour, Matt McKenzie from Tsunami Bomb took over for the remaining 2005 dates. {{cite web|url=https://dailycollegian.com/2006/05/hoobastank-drummer-singing-a-different-tune/#:~:text=%E2%80%9CMarkku%20was%20tired%20of%20touring,think%20he%20wanted%20a%20change.%E2%80%9D |title=Hoobastank drummer singing a different tune |publisher=Daily Collegian|access-date=May 16, 2025}}
=''Every Man for Himself'' (2006–2007)=
Their third album Every Man for Himself was released in May 2006 and debuted at No. 12 on the Billboard chart. Three singles, "If I Were You", "Inside of You", and "Born to Lead", were released. Another single, "If Only", was planned to be released but was canceled for unknown reasons, possibly because of the low chart achievements of the first three singles. Despite this, the album has been certified Gold in the United States. To promote the album, Josh Moreau joined the band, replacing McKenzie.
On a 2005 co-headlining tour with Velvet Revolver, the band received a chilly reception from some audiences and rumors of a feud between Robb and Velvet Revolver frontman Scott Weiland were soon filling Internet message boards. "If I Were You" from Every Man for Himself addressed the whole affair.{{cite magazine|url={{BillboardURLbyName|artist=hoobastank|bio=true}}|title=Hoobastank Biography|magazine=Billboard.com}} Robb later said in an interview with MTV News online that he has nothing against Scott Weiland or any other member of Velvet Revolver.{{cite web|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1508953/20050906/hoobastank.jhtml|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061223164421/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1508953/20050906/hoobastank.jhtml|url-status=dead|archive-date=December 23, 2006|title=Hooba Have A Few Words For Velvet Revolver|publisher=MTV.com}}

In October 2007, Robb posted on the official Hoobastank message boards and said that they have "set the bar very very high for this next CD" and that they have "more ideas going into this CD than ever before". On June 2, 2008, Robb posted an update on their temporary website, announcing that the recording process of their upcoming album was almost done and to expect a release date within a couple of weeks.{{cite web|url=http://www.islandrecords.com/site/artist_newsinfo.php?uf_item_id=1-105390&uf_system_id=0&artist_id=316 |title=Studio Update: June 2, 2008 hoobastank.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090116023643/http://www.islandrecords.com/site/artist_newsinfo.php?uf_item_id=1-105390&uf_system_id=0&artist_id=316 |archive-date=January 16, 2009 |df=mdy-all }} On September 19, Robb posted a Myspace bulletin announcing that the "new Hoobastank album is nearly done".
