As Hobosexual, Ben Harwood and Jeff Silva aren’t the only guitar/drums duo in town, but they’re the most badass. With detuned fuzzy guitars and hard-grooving riffs, the pair has been pummeling the Pacific Northwest with their stoner rock since 2010. Though their sound is rooted in ’70s hard rock (Zeppelin, Sabbath, Skynyrd) they have a penchant for the lighthearted ’80s (Beastie Boys, BMXing, Stallone films). The band will follow up last year’s well-received sophomore album, Hobosexual II, and a supremely loud (and rocking) set at Sasquatch!, with a pair of similarly high-profile festival appearances this summer: Doe Bay Fest and Bumbershoot. hobosexualband.com
