After giving fans a preview of the docuseries in last week’s trailer, the first episode from the Hoobastank series is out now. The clip takes a nice trip down memory lane, revisiting how the band formed back in high school, some nervous Battle of the Bands moments as well as a trip to the Salvation Army for an oversized new wardrobe. New episodes featuring behind-the-scenes moments, untold stories and more will be shared every other Thursday until all seven parts are released.

Hoobastank guitarist, Dan Estrin shares “The first day of school I walk into my auto shop class and I happen to pass a folder on a table, on the folder was a sticker of guitar strings and it registered in my head, oh somebody else likes what I likes” on meeting lead vocalist, Doug Robb.

Almost two decades later, the band is still clocking in at over 6M monthly listeners on Spotify and “Crawling In The Dark” has surpassed the 100M streaming mark across DSPs. The band’s 2003 follow up studio album The Reason took them to even greater heights and solidified Hoobastank as a household name. The title track “The Reason” went 4x RIAA Platinum and racked up quite a few #1 chart positions along the way, while the album went 2x RIAA Platinum. “The Reason” has over 2 Billion streams/views which has helped lead the way to the band’s catalog surpassing the 3 billion mark across the various streaming platforms. The band looks forward to continuing their success in the years to come while also celebrating what they have accomplished so far.
