Hopeless Records and Feed.fm launch new pop-punk workout station featuring All Time Low, Avenged Sevenfold, PVRIS, and more. Sep 01, 2026, 09:00 ET Hopeless Records teams with Feed.fm to turn three decades of pop-punk anthems into a station built for digital fitness, not just the mosh pit. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ - Independent music label Hopeless Records is bringing its catalog to fitness through a new partnership with Feed.fm. Starting today, Feed.fm-powered apps including NKO Club, echelon, and more will be streaming a limited-edition Sizzle Station curated by the label. Hopeless Pop-Punk Cardio turns decades of punk and alternative music into a soundtrack built for breaking a sweat. "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, Echelon fitness instructor. Since its founding in 1993, Hopeless has helped shape pop-punk and alternative music through influential releases from artists including All Time Low, Avenged Sevenfold, Taking Back Sunday, Yellowcard, Bayside, and Neck Deep. Now, as the genre finds new life with longtime fans and new listeners alike, the fitness station gives people another way to engage with 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 for whenever they need that push and energy to stay in the fight," said Kendall Toole, founder and CEO of NKO Club. "This is the soundtrack we "comeback" to, and having the Hopeless catalogue as part of its offerings for every class keeps Cognition Corporation moving and fighting together, authentically. For many, compilation CDs and label samplers were a gateway to discovering new bands. Hopeless Pop-Punk Cardio brings that same energy and experience into digital fitness, pairing familiar artists with fresh releases from across the label's roster, including Pinkshift, PVRIS, Scene Queen, and more. Built around heart-pumping tempos, high-intensity guitar riffs, and anthemic choruses, the tracks naturally align with cardio pacing, helping listeners maintain intensity and rhythm as they work out. "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," said Bryn Boughton, VP Music Affairs at Feed.fm. The partnership works for everyone involved. 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. "We're excited to work with Feed.fm on bringing a pop-punk soundtrack (and maybe a new favorite artist) to your next workout." said Erin Choi, General Manager at Hopeless Records.

How Tempo turned one coach's music taste into a top-performing station. February 17, 2026 When it comes to digital fitness, coaches are more than trainers. They're influencers, motivators, and community leaders. Their personalities and tastes build loyalty, and nothing expresses that more immediately than music. That's why Tempo partnered with Feed.fm to launch a trainer-inspired station built around the signature music taste of Head Coach Melissa Boyd. The result: a limited-edition station that became one of the app's top five choices, driving deeper engagement between instructor and audience. The challenge Tempo wanted to celebrate Coach Melissa's anniversary as one of their longest-standing and most-loved coaches. They also wanted to do it in a way that felt meaningful, fresh, and interactive for members. Traditional content campaigns alone wouldn't cut it. The team knew music could play a unique role. Fans already associated Coach Melissa with a high-energy experience. So Tempo turned to Feed.fm to help transform that identity into something scalable that could drive engagement across the app. The solution Feed.fm collaborated with Coach Melissa and the Tempo content team to curate a limited-edition trainer-inspired station. - Music selections were inspired directly by Coach Melissa's taste, including artists like Jamie xx, Barry Can't Swim, and IDLES. - The Feed.fm curation team went to work to deliver a complete station full of tracks that were clean (no explicit content), cleared, and on-brand. - The launch aligned with her anniversary as a coach, making it both celebratory and timely. - The station was added to the app's music menu, with the selected station visible at the start of each of her classes and a dropdown option if members wanted to change it. This combination of personal tastes + expert curation made the station authentic to the coach while still aligned to brand tone and licensing requirements. The results The trainer-inspired station quickly became one of the top five stations in the app. Members loved hearing what inspired their coach. It created a sense of connection and exclusivity, as if they were working out with her in real time. For the brand: it was a marketing win, giving them a fresh story to tell around personalization and community. "It was great to be able to add some of our coaches personal flair to our music selection. It gave us a chance to highlight them while giving the users a special gift too." - Clarence Hairston-Bellotti, Director of Content Operations, Tempo For the trainer: it elevated her profile, showing her influence extended beyond workouts. "This playlist is what I work out to when I need motivation, momentum, and good energy so it was nice to be able to give the users a glimpse into that." - Melissa Boyd, Head Coach, Tempo For users: it was another reason to return to the app, stay engaged, and feel part of something bigger. "Coach Melissa per my request. Can we keep her playlist on the music because it's the best!" Tempo member Why it worked This project highlights a powerful strategy: launching limited-edition radio stations as a way to celebrate coaches, mark milestones, and give marketing teams a fresh angle to drive awareness. These stations go beyond novelty. They're sticky, measurable, and personal. They boost app metrics while deepening emotional bonds between users, trainers, and the brand. And they're only possible with a partner like Feed.fm who can combine expert curation, licensing, and product integration. Tempo succeeded in boosting retention, celebrating one of their top coaches, and giving users something new to engage with. Feed.fm helps brands build these moments with the right mix of curation, licensing, and tech integration, so your users don't just show up, they keep coming back. Learn about custom music solutions

Feed.fm and Warner Music Group (WMG) have partnered up to launch Feed Clips, a new music clip API that enables digital platforms to integrate song clips from major label catalogs.

With this partnership, Feed.fm is now touting an 'end-to-end solution' for music clips that includes licensing, curation, and in-app experiences delivered via API. The Feed Clips music API also gives WMG and its artists and songwriters a way to bring music into social platforms to boost music discovery and fandom. It expands discovery into new apps where fans are creating with music, unlocking the potential for scalable reach and deeper cultural relevance across digital landscapes. For WMG, the partnership opens new avenues for music discovery and monetization in environments where music discovery and viral sharing occur daily. For developers, the product offers a "turnkey" system complete with curated content, full API support, and built-in usage reporting. "We're excited to work with Feed.fm to bring music to more experiences," said Rachel Scarpati, VP, Business Development & Digital Strategy, WMG. "This partnership is another step toward building a more innovative music ecosystem that fuels creativity, discovery, and genuine connection." "WMG is a forward-thinking partner, and we're proud to collaborate with them to power music in new and innovative digital experiences," said Jeff Yasuda, CEO and founder of Feed.fm. "As music becomes a core layer of connection in social environments, this partnership helps us bring artists, developers, and fans into closer synergy." Feed.fm says the launch of Feed Clips also represents a significant opportunity for music to be embedded in more facets of digital expression, from social media to interactive cards and creative messaging tools.
