Hoobastank

Post-grunge four-piece from Agoura Hills, Los Angeles. Influenced by the likes of Alice in Chains and Tool, add a Californian up-beat feel to their heavy sound - as showed by the title of their debut release 'They Sure Don't Make Basketball Shorts Like They Used To'. Support slots with Incubus and Alien Ant Farm, along with a deal with Island Records has brought the band to a wider audience - and they look like breaking it big any time now.
