Hopeless Records and Feed.fm launch Hopeless Pop-Punk Cardio Sizzle Station

SAN FRANCISCO—Hopeless Records and Feed.fm have joined forces to launch the Hopeless Pop-Punk Cardio Sizzle Station, a new workout music station designed to turn decades of pop-punk anthems into a dynamic fitness soundtrack. The collaboration aims to combine the energy of classic and contemporary pop-punk music with the demands of digital fitness apps, offering users a fresh way to engage with their favorite songs during workouts.

The Sizzle Station, curated by Hopeless Records, features a selection of tracks from influential pop-punk and alternative bands such as All Time Low, Avenged Sevenfold, PVRIS, and more. The station is available through Feed.fm-powered apps like NKO Club and echelon, providing a heart-pumping playlist that aligns with high-intensity workouts.

"Pop-punk has always been the music that makes me want to dance, scream, and get out all my feelings, so it's the perfect genre for my workouts," said Jama Oliver, an Echelon fitness instructor. "The energy and relatability of the music make it a natural fit for a workout session."

Since its founding in 1993, Hopeless Records has played a significant role in shaping the pop-punk and alternative music landscape. The label has been home to numerous platinum and gold-selling bands, including All Time Low, Avenged Sevenfold, and Taking Back Sunday. As the genre continues to resonate with both longtime fans and new listeners, the new workout station offers a unique way to experience the music.

"Pop-punk has always been the sound of getting back up when life knocks you down, and Hopeless's music is a huge part of what makes my community feel like home," said Kendall Toole, founder and CEO of NKO Club. "This station keeps us moving and fighting together, authentically."

The Hopeless Pop-Punk Cardio Sizzle Station pairs familiar artists with fresh releases from the label's roster, including Pinkshift, PVRIS, and Scene Queen. The tracks, known for their heart-pumping tempos and anthemic choruses, are specifically curated to maintain intensity and rhythm during high-intensity workouts.

"Bryn Boughton, Vice President of Music Affairs at Feed.fm, noted, 'Hopeless gets real amplification for its catalog, and our fitness customers get a station built to motivate. That's the mutual benefit we look for in every partnership, and this one delivers.'"

For Hopeless Records, the partnership with Feed.fm brings new listeners to its catalog and helps the label maintain its status as a defining force in alternative music. Erin Choi, General Manager at Hopeless Records, added, "We're excited to work with Feed.fm on bringing a pop-punk soundtrack (and maybe a new favorite artist) to your next workout."

The Sizzle Station is designed to cater to the needs of fitness enthusiasts, offering a fully cleared station supported by promotional campaign materials. Listeners can expect a mix of familiar and fresh tracks that seamlessly blend into their workout routines.

"The partnership works for everyone involved," said Boughton. "Feed.fm partner apps receive a fully cleared station supported by promotional campaign materials. Listeners get a station built for workout pace, featuring artists they already follow alongside fresh releases. Hopeless Records reaches listeners in an engaged setting where music can become part of a routine they return to."

Through this collaboration, both Hopeless Records and Feed.fm aim to enhance the fitness experience while expanding the reach of pop-punk and alternative music. The Sizzle Station is now available on a variety of fitness apps, offering a dynamic and motivating soundtrack for the next workout session.
