Edit history

Hobbsy is the project of ex Smokin’ Joker bass player Ben Hobbs from Geelong - Australia. Having tasted mild success with Joker (namely supporting Deep Purple and twice touring the US) Hobbs found himself retiring from music when lead singer Cory Hargreaves relocated to Queensland to begin his successful solo career. As time passed Hobbs felt that itch again. It was an itch that he was never able to scratch within the confines of a more straight ahead rock band. Here he has now branched out with a more powerful and epic approach. The debut album aptly titled “Risen From The Dead” features collaborations and vocals from long time friends Clint Johannes, Brett Rerekura, Alex Williams and lead guitars from old band mate Andrew Cromwell. These guys are from world class bands including Teramaze, Lamort and Strange Uncle Remus. Stand out tracks include “The Few and the Many”, “I Am” and the epic “Your Silence” “Risen From The Dead” is available on iTunes. CD’s and Merch is available on
