This week we are celebrating 30 years of Hopeless Records with owner and founder Louis Posen, just ahead of their Hopeless History Museum that makes its way to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio! Louis has been responsible for some important signings in the industry over the years including All Time Low, The Used, Thrice and of course, Avenged Sevenfold. Johnny and Louis reminisce on the time they worked together and how he was introduced to the band. The two also discuss more about Hopeless and its beginnings as well as Louis’ journey to becoming a record executive from studying film in college and making a music video for NOFX. With some laughs and stories along the way the two old friends break down a bit of the industry today from a label's perspective and how streaming & royalties are affected in the new forum of music. Enjoy responsibly and catch the Hopeless Records Museum on tour now, and soon to be at the Punk Rock Museum in Las Vegas. Cheers!
