Lead singer of southern Californian pop-punk rock band
Hoobastank
(formed in 1994), Robb began playing guitar at the age of fifteen. Very
early in their career, Hoobastank's debut went platinum, with three radio hits. Doug Robb has a large vocal range, capable of singing a crooning, melancholy ballad style in a haunting tenor (with touches of baritenor) or the screaming ache of the punk-style dirge-like love song.
