    Hindsight is a fine thing and it’s clear that the combined impact of grunge, corporate clumsiness and the commodification of music through disgitisation did many bands a disservice in the 1990s. Hoax was probably one of them.

    Hoax was a staple of the live circuit in Newcastle, Australia, in the late 1980s and early ‘90s, opening for a slew of touring bands while building a local fanbase. Hoax took their lead from punk rock (whatever that is) and suffered constant line-up changes. They came and went, with the core of Geoff Mullard (vocals and guitar) and Anthony Dean (drums and vocals) going on to many other bands.
