Slacker Rock for the disinterested

About Me

Hobo Heist is a 3 piece alternative rock group from the St Helens/ Wigan area. We like all genres of music and so anything goes during song writing...and it goes in all directions. Instead of jumping on the band-wagon, we intend to steal that wagon, throw out all passengers and have a pretty good road trip til we run out of fuel. MyGen Profile Generator
