Released in 1996 on CD, Hopelessly Devoted To You, showcased artists signed to Hopeless Records at the time. The compilation of pop-punk and punk rock bands associated with the California skate scene, like Guttermouth, Falling Sickness, NOBODYS, and Digger became a staple for fans of the genre and helped propel many of these bands to wider recognition.
2023 marks the 30th Anniversary of Hopeless Records. Regarded as one of the most iconic and longest standing independent record label. It's foundation was sparked by nothing more than a dare: when founder Louis Posen was directing a video for now-legendary punk-rockers Guttermouth, the band asked him to put out their 7-inch despite his limited knowledge of the music industry. Posen had $1,000 to his name and a book titled How To Run An Independent Record Label. He asked friends for tips on how to run a label, read magazines and paid attention to the advertisements in them, visited his local record store and learned everything by simply being a fan.Â
