Hoobastank "The Reason" (15th Anniversary) 2024-03-15 writing for Rolling StoneThere are reasons the high school friends from Southern California that formed the now multiplatinum band Hoobastank, with three Grammy nominations, six studio albums and global acclaim, wanted to revisit their second studio album The Reason on the 15th anniversary of it's release.
