Ho0bastank
Fight or Flight , the new album from Hoobastank , marks the beginning of what promises to be a vital new chapter in the nearly two-decade run of the versatile L . A . band . This musically and emotionally intense work is Hoobastank ’ s initial release on their own Open E Entertainment label following a productive decade on Island Records during which they ruled the modern rock charts , crossed over big-time with the iconic smash “ The Reason ” and sold 10 million albums .
“ The time had come to end the relationship with Island ,” says lead singer Doug Robb , “ and that has led to a new mindset for us . We ’ re older and wiser , we have families now , we ’ ve experienced the ups and downs that come with the territory for any successful band , and we couldn ’ t ask for anything better than where we are now , with new management and our quote / unquote ‘ indie ’ situation . We ’ re in a spot where it feels like we ’ ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain , and that ’ s exciting .”
Robb , Estrin and their cohorts have come full circle , taking the reins of their collective destiny , just as they did back in the ’ 90s when , barely out of high school , they charged out of their West Valley ’ hood to become part of a posse of similarly brash and versatile young SoCal hard rock bands like Incubus and Linkin Park . Now , once again , they ’ re challenging themselves , and they ’ ve responded with what stands as Hoobastank ’ s most accomplished and expressive effort .
