Hobosexual

- Seattle, WA Rock / Blues

About

Members: Ben Harwood, Jeff Silva

Bio: Hobosexual is a pure rock n roll band in a commercial world of artificial cool.

Hobosexual is punk attitude wrapped in giant analog walls of 70s influenced riff-laden bliss… but this ain't your daddy's rock n roll. Hobo has the swagger and the attitude of your older and more cynical big brother.

Press

“Hobosexual have a rather unorthodox promotional approach. First, they've got their own line of action figures. In one edition, drummer Jeff Silva's figure comes with a motorcycle and singer/guitarist Ben Harwood's comes with an eagle. Second, the band recently sent several tapes of their latest—Hobosexual: Live from the CCT—to the office in portable tape players. Contained therein is more of the best '70s stoner rock this city has heard since the '70s. ”

— Grant Brissey, The Stranger

“There are no bells-and-whistles needed for rock this potent.”

— Abbey Simmons, Sound on the Sound

“While the city waits with bated breath for Fleet Foxes to release their sophomore record, and bands like the Head and the Heart, Campfire OK, and Drew Grow & the Pastor's Wives continue to get their faces on the cover of magazines, Hobosexual are doing their damnedest to make sure Northwesterners don't forget that it's okay to get loud and just have some fucking fun.”

— Megan Seling, The Stranger

“Ladies and gentlemen, this is what rock and roll is all about. Hot, stinky, sweaty, head-banging, ass-shaking rock and roll. These are some badass sons ‘a bitches.”

— Brent Stecker, Guerrilla Candy

“Hobosexual (Ben Harwood and running mate Jeff Silva) have released a self-titled album of mad, scattered, full-frontal rock attack. It's a sound with scurvy, a creaming of fuzzed amplification that builds and fans out. Way out. Think Thin Lizzie and Black Sabbath burning on a pyre of Lincoln Logs. It's a bloodletting of wattage with looping, chunked stacks of heaving guitars. If you're afraid of the rock, don't listen.”

— Trent Moorman, The Stranger

“Two-man band Hobosexual sounds like a hybrid between '80s hair metal, dirty blues and Southern rock. As in, John Lee Hooker crossed with Warrant's "Cherry Pie" crossed with "Gimme Three Steps." The gritty, lo-fi guitar + drums formula invites serious early Black Keys comparisons, but Hobosexual gets a little more metal than that. The band, guitarist Ben Harwood and drummer Jeff Silva, has one album out so far, and it's rife with gross references to pedophiles giving away candy in vans, living in dumpsters and other themes of impoverished transience. ”

— Sara Brickner, Seattle Weekly

“Let’s get this out of the way, Hobosexual is a band that needs to be on your radar.”

— Travis Hay, Guerrilla Candy

“Hobosexual went all out for their set starting off with a solo acoustic shred lesson courtesy of Ben Harwodd before laying into the massive triple-stack of amps. The acoustic moment brought Harwood's education in composition into focus, but his theoretical prowess was quickly and easily eclipsed by his actual prowess in wielding his right-handed guitar left-handed. Harwood isn't hiding behind his volume, he's manipulating it like few venture to accomplish. ”

— Josh Lovseth, Sound on the Sound

“The hilariously named Hobosexual's songs aren't funny at all—they're full-on, fuzzed-out classic-rock beasts.”

— Megan Seling, The Stranger
