HOBBY HORSES

About Me

Hobby Horses are a UK punk / pop / rock act comprised of a bunch of lovely lads from Cornwall & Bristol. We formed in 2007 and have since played with the likes of the awesome Random Hand, Asking Alexandria and also played at Big Cheese Magazine's No One Gets Out Alive Tour as well as the awesome Plymouth Punx Picnic. We hope to have much more awesome gigs coming up and hope to actually get put on a festival bill in 2010!!
And we're not really from the future. We were only joking. MyGen Profile Generator
