Hoobastank, Ok Go and More Featured on Summer Sound Waves

With vacation season drawing to a close, music fans can fire up their devices starting today and create their own endless summer by surfing through the UMe Summer Sound Waves playlist, which features a sultry selection of late 90s – early 2000s pop, rock and hip-hop. The adventure includes music across all genres, and features a new video for “The Reason (Acoustic)” by Hoobastank and a new lyric video for “Dirty Little Secret” by The All-American Rejects.

The Summer Sound Waves video playlist rolls out with an original production from three-time GRAMMY®-nominated, multi-platinum Hoobastank, including a new docustyle interview and performance.

Hoobastank celebrated the 15th anniversary of The Reason, their 3 million-selling, GRAMMY® nominated sophomore studio album, with the 2019 Island/UMe multi-format reissue that includes five bonus tracks. In addition to being released as a digital deluxe edition, The Reason also made its vinyl debut. Both editions include a then-previously unreleased acoustic version of the Southern California band’s biggest and most impactful hit song, “The Reason,” which has been streamed more than 2 billion times across leading global streaming services. On August 21, Hoobastank will release a new video for “The Reason (Acoustic)” that includes new interview footage along with a performance of the single. Filmed at The Doghouse, which was Glen Frey’s private Los Angeles studio getaway, the music video underscores the powerful intimacy that has made the song a fan favorite ever since its initial release.
