The Hoax is a talented 5 member British blues-rock band...
...The Hoax features Jesse Davey and Jon Amor on guitar, Hugh Coltman on vocals and harmonica, Robin Davey on bass guitar, and Mark Barrett on drums. The band is tight, with a big, powerful sound. The two excellent guitarists share lead and rhythm, and there's plenty of emotional blues leads, but not to an overwhelming degree. Notable in the guitar playing is the influence of SRV. Vocals are excellent as well, some of the best vocal work I've heard in a long while...
...Unfortunately, The Hoax are splitting up after eight years of trying to make a go of it. According to info at one of the Hoax websites, they just could not make a comfortable living with the band. This is a real shame. The level to which the bar was raised between "Sound Like This" and "Humdinger" is astounding. This band was still peaking... ~ electricblues.com
