The Hopeless team is small but it’s made up of some of the best people in the industry, and they’ve worked to make us one of the top 50 labels in the US. We love what we do and we never forget who we do it for: the fans. What sets us apart is at the end of the day, though, is that we’re fans too. Yup, we’re Hopeless, but we’re not gonna let that stop us.”

On the launch of Songs That Saved My Life, label founder and President Louis Posen remarks, “Many of us became passionate about music, not just because it made us feel good in good times, but because of how it got us through tough times. Songs That Saved My Life is an ongoing project of our non-profit organization, Sub City, with a goal to recognize and use the power of music to break down the stigma associated with talking about mental health and to end the suffering of our loved ones.”
“We are very excited about this inaugural Songs That Saved My Life compilation. We are forever grateful to all of the bands on the compilation for being the first artists to be involved in the project, and for their courage to talk about how music helped them during difficult moments.
