Let's make this birthday one to remember.

45 years old (Born on February 15, 1980)

Happy Birthday, Matt Hoopes! May your day be filled with more joy than the number of guitar picks you've mysteriously lost on tour. Your riffs have rocked our worlds and inspired countless air-guitar solos—some even performed in church pews (sorry about that). From "Be My Escape" to "Who I Am Hates Who I've Been," you’ve given us timeless anthems we still belt out shamelessly.

Here's hoping this year brings as much success as Relient K's unforgettable tours and recent reunion shows—which proved once again you're not just a guitarist; you're practically musical royalty. Keep shredding gracefully into eternity!
