BIOGRAPHY
HOKUM is a four piece progressive rock band hailing from Johannesburg, South Africa. The line up consists in: Scott Wareham on (vocals/guitar), Jason Jackson (drums),Conrad de Jong (guitar) and Sarah Wolff (keyboards/piano).
Formed from the ashes of Marlowe, and with more than ten years experience, their sound ranges from sublime soundscapes (Brian Eno, Radiohead), the avant garde (Steve Reich, Philip Glass), to the solidity of rock (Deftones, Tool). And although these influences can be heard, their sound defies strict classification; they bring something new to rock music.
"We have been working hard on this album for more than a year now, so far the singles Touch Power, The Emerald and most recently Converse have been well received so far. The Emerald peaking at number 3 on The SA Alternative rock chart (5fm)." - Commented the band
They released their debut album, The Money Eaters, in June 2015, which can be downloaded on iTunes, or purchased in hard copy at their shows.
