It seems like Melbourne locals Hobson’s Bay Coast Guard burst out of nowhere fully formed. What began as a few jams after other bands’ rehearsals rapidly formed its own personality: a fun-fuelled experiment in genre-hopping and bizarro surf-pop. Catchy sun-drenched hooks, warped chords and trashy, manic drums are all smashed together on a coastal themed paint-your-own-adventure colouring book.
The Hobsons live show is not your typical rock band affair either. Every second that HBCG occupy the stage a holy trinity of Garage, Surf and Psychedelia converge into a cosmic twizzler of delicious fun. The riffs are right, the rhythm is rowdy and the raucous rush of the resonant triple vocals require even the most reserved rabble to unite in cutting a rug.
After two years of percolating a concept album in their parents' living rooms and across scattered house-sitting arrangements, the band are sitting on a full-length LP to be released in 2019.
Since their performance at Bigsound 2018, the band has signed to Sunset Pig Records Management (A. Swayze & the Ghosts) and secured select booking agency’s top dog Rob Giovannoni as their agent. Seems there’s big things to come for HBCG in 2019.

About this track...
Recorded in their parents living room, the single itself is another mad experiment in genre from studio Hobsons. ‘Wannabe’ is short like a punk track, heavy like a garage track and even contains elements of pop behind its driving mad-cap rhythm guitar and incessant drums. ‘Wannabe’ slots neatly beside their previous releases while simultaneously standing out like a throbbing thumb.
