History

Hopeless Records was founded in 1993 by Louis Posen. The label's artists are generally considered to fall under the genres of punk rock, pop punk, post-hardcore, and alternative rock, but some also include elements of heavy metal. Some of their best-known artists include All Time Low, Sum 41, Neck Deep, Avenged Sevenfold, Thrice, Yellowcard, Anarbor, Taking Back Sunday, Silverstein, Amber Pacific, We Are the In Crowd, Bayside, the Used, the Wonder Years, the Human Abstract and Enter Shikari.[7]

In July 2008, Hopeless Records announced that it had launched a new imprint, P Is for Panda. It was originally started in 2007 as a clothing line by The Militia Group founder Chad Pearson. The P Is For Panda label released its first album, a various artists compilation in August 2008.[8]

In 2025, Hopeless Records purchased the Fat Wreck Chords back catalog and operations.[9][10] Previous owners Fat Mike and Erin Burkett retain certain aspects of the label, including the Fat Wreck trademark which is licensed to Hopeless Records for physical and digital releases.
