- 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.
- [After hearing that the band's songs were nominated for three Grammy Awards, for Best Pop Performance by a Group with Vocals, Best Rock Album for "The Reason," and the hit single "The Reason" nominated for the Song of the Year Grammy, Robb said:] It hasn't sunk in yet. I feel like I'm in a daydream. [Tampa Tribune, December 17, 2004]
- "Last night was a weird one. After Leno [that is, after appearing on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno (1992), we went to this bar to see a comedy 1980s hair metal band from L.A. called "Metal School". The singer starts ranting about how they're "Bringing metal back to MTV!" and saying things like, "Aren't you tired of turning on MTV and seeing bands like Hoobastank!" It got worse from there. He actually pointed me out. But I was laughing. I got up on stage and we did 'Ain't Talking 'Bout Love' from Van Halen" [The Toronto Sun, June 18, 2004].
