Hopeless Records

The first 20 years of Hopeless have been years of constant growth: In those two decades, it has been transformed from small beginnings as the punk-centric hobby of founder Louis Posen into one of the largest independent record labels in the world according to market share, while releasing music spread across a valley of genres. It has developed a charity subsidiary called Sub City, which has raised over $2 million for over 50 different causes since 1999. Hopeless is much more than one man’s hobby now – it’s become one of the most recognizable and important names in independent music.
