Hoobastank is an american post-grunge band best known for their crossover hit “The Reason” (2003) and by their continued success in the modern rock market.
It’d be easy to recap the career of Hoobastank: a couple of guys meet in a Battle of the Bands in Agoura Hills, CA, in 1994. They grab a bassist and a drummer, damn themselves with a weird band name, build up a local following, get signed, put out two records that earn accolades like “post-grunge ear candy”, release a monster ballad (“The Reason”), get nominated for three Grammys .… well, we can go on. But here’s why you should really give a damn about Hoobastank, and their third album Every Man for Himself.
Seven Amazingly Fascinating Things About Hoobastank
1) Guitarist Dan Estrin has a great story involving brain surgery and a catheter.
In 2003, during the band’s tour for its multi-platinum second album The Reason, Estrin made a fateful purchase. “Everyone in the band rides street bikes and motocross bikes,” says the guitarist. “I was fucking around on a mini-bike that I just bought. I was riding one around after a show … and I smashed my head into concrete.” The result? “They had to cut my head open. I just remember, before the surgery, I had two fears: they’d have shave my head and I’d wake up with a catheter in me. So I wake up, and lo and behold, my head’s shaved and there’s a tube in my dick.”
