Editorial Reviews

"Live Forever, the third disc by mega-awesome British blues/rock guitar band THE HOAX, features 10 songs (69 minutes) of outstanding, exceptional, amazingly solid, powerful blues/rock riffage that is way beyond the norm. Excellently recorded LIVE in concert with a top-shelf production and complete with killer extended jams, THE HOAX has delivered a blues/rock heavy guitar masterpiece of classic proportions with the "Live Forever" disc. THE HOAX was discovered by seasoned British blues record producer Mike Vernon (of Mayall, Clapton, Fleetwood Mac fame) who produced their excellent debut major label disc, Sound Like This. THE HOAX features two amazing blues/rock axeslingers in the form of JESSE DAVEY & JON AMOR, both equally impressive players with a vast display of awesome bluesy hi-powered strat magic. Heavily inspired by Stevie Ray Vaughan, both guitarists play with the same intense fire and passion as the late great man, keeping the spirit of S.R.V. alive through their awesome guitar playing/music. If you didnt know any better youd think these guys were born & raised in Austin, Texas! THE HOAX also features the outstanding, soulful vocal power of frontman HUGH COLTMAN, complete with ROBIN DAVEY & MARK BARRETT laying down a heavy bad-ass solid bass/drums groove as the powerhouse rhythm section. THE HOAX knows what time of day it is when it comes down to REAL blues/rock guitar music. THE HOAX: "Live Forever" is an awesome blues/rock guitar disc that is HIGHLY recommended to fans of STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN, ERIC CLAPTON, JOHNNY WINTER, RORY GALLAGHER, ROBIN TROWER, INDIGENOUS, WALTER TROUT, JOE BONAMASSA, BUDDAHEADS, SKY HIGH & CLAS YNGSTROM, VARGAS BLUES BAND, CHRIS AARON, KENNY WAYNE SHEPHERD, etc. and to anyone who heavily digs outstanding, classic blues/rock heavy guitar music. Live Forever is a mega-awesome twin-guitar British blues/rock animal that will rock your blues away. Classic British blues/rock guitar power supreme! If you are a fan of outstanding classic blues/rock heavy guitar riffage, then do yourself a favor and tune into THE HOAX: Live Forever disc. As an added bonus, the Live Forever disc comes in a way-kool 6 panel digi-pack. From start to finish, THE HOAX: "Live Forever" is one solid disc that really delivers the blues/rock "goods" in mighty fine fashion and will stand the test of time. THE BLUES LIVE HERE FOREVER.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Hoax Aint no hoax, August 15, 2006

These guys are the real deal. To me it sounds like a jam band with srv as a lead guitar player. However it may be derivitive in its sound but does not sound like srv clone or knockoff. The Hoax has their own unique sound.Plenty of solos with the dual guitar attack.An innovative approach to blues rock and highly recommended.

Outstanding live blues/rock guitar disc from this awesome British band featuring two killer guitarists who sound like they grew up in the heart of Texas. These guys are the REAL deal. If you love top-shelf blues/rock guitar music, you owe it to yourself to tune into this great band/disc.

This is a BLISTERING SET by The Hoax. Influinced by SRV (but not a copy) these young British musicians know how to rock the house. Non-stop jamming by dual guitarists makes me long for more. Too bad they are no longer together, they must have been a sight to see. Great job lads, wish you were still around.
