Hoobastank stacks up concerts year-end tour
Alt-rockers Hoobastank take to the road next month for a five-week run on the club and theater circuit that supports the group's latest album, "Every Man for Himself."
The outing launches Nov. 15 in Spartanburg, SC, and more than two-dozen shows are stacked up, with a Dec. 22 finale scheduled in Los Angeles. Details are included below.
Released in May, "Every Man for Himself," features the singles "If I Were You," "Inside of You" and "Born to Lead." All three of those cuts, as well as a fourth titled "Don't Tell Me," are streaming at Hoobastank's MySpace page.
The album also includes "More Than a Memory," a cut that features flutes, accordion, chimes and trumpets.
"I was listening to a lot of Pink Floyd at the time, especially The Wall," guitarist Dan Estrin said in statement. "I like albums, and songs, that take you on a journey, that almost come across as a movie. And that song definitely does--it's like Floyd, The Beatles, and even tails off like 'Sir Psycho Sexy,' that old Red Hot Chili Peppers song. I just like applying lessons from bands I admire."
"Every Man for Himself" follows Hoobastank's 2003 set, "The Reason," which spawned a chart-topping single of the same name, and is certified double-platinum, signifying US shipment of 2 million copies.
