Straight out of Pensacola and straight into your speakers, Hopout isn’t just a rock band, they’re a sonic slap to the face (with love, of course). Made up of Nick Zimmerman (guitar/vocals), Tyler Raihl (bass/vocals), and Alex Gibson (drums/vocals), this Florida-based trio is giving rock ‘n’ roll the electric jolt it’s been missing.
They’ve been playing together for over a decade, and trust us, it shows. Whether they’re tearing up stages across the U.S. or serving up gritty, genre-bending anthems in the studio, Hopout knows exactly how to grab your attention and not let go.
Their latest single 'Bad Luck' isn’t here to coddle you. It’s for anyone who’s ever blamed Mercury in retrograde for their own terrible decisions. With pounding drums, in-your-face riffs, and a chorus that demands to be screamed in your car, this track calls out the chronic complainers of the world. It’s catchy, it’s cathartic, and it’s a solid reminder that maybe—just maybe—your “bad luck” is your own doing.
If 'Bad Luck' is the wake-up call, 'Give Up' is the emotional spiral that comes before it. This track captures that raw, exhausted feeling of being absolutely done, but still not ready to throw in the towel. It’s moody, melodic, and straight-up addictive, Hopout's version of a sad song that still slaps. Because let’s be honest, sometimes wallowing with a killer hook in the background is exactly what you need.
What makes Hopout stand out in a sea of Spotify noise? Easy: three lead vocalists, real chemistry, and zero tolerance for boring. These guys aren’t just making music, they’re building a movement. Think punk spirit meets alternative polish with just enough chaos to keep things interesting.
They’ve played with the likes of We The Kings and Less Than Jake, but Hopout’s not riding coattails, they’re carving their own lane. Whether you're thrashing in a dive bar or stuck in traffic, their music hits like a Red Bull to the soul.
