“Celebrating 30 years is a celebration of all those who have believed in us, put their trust in us, and have made it possible for us to survive and thrive,â says Louis Posen, founder of Hopeless Records. âIt started with my mom, stepdad, and brother believing that a kid going blind could take $1000 and turn it into something. Then it was all the artists, starting with Guttermouth and Fat Mike, that put trust in us with their music and knowledge.”
He adds, “Then it was all the partners who wanted to work with us and help us bring great music to fans. Finally, it was our Hopeless staff who believed in the vision and put their heart and soul into making a positive impact for our artists and our team. Thank you for an amazing first 30 years! We canât wait to continue learning, growing and getting better in our next 30!â
