This year, the pioneering pop-punk and emo label Hopeless Records celebrates its 30th anniversary with a new compilation, Hopelessly Devoted To You, featuring artists from the label's current roster, such as Sweet Pill, Fame On Fire, and Sincere Engineer covering songs by artists from their previous three decades such as All Time Low, Avenged Sevenfold, Yellowcard, and New Found Glory. And there's also a touring exhibit of Hopeless memorabilia that has made its way to the Punk Rock Museum in Las Vegas.

Paul chats with Louis Posen, the forefather of the label, and Hopeless's Raj Sharma, about the music and their social commitment to making a positive impact with everything they do.
