The Hornets have recently released their 8th CD Wasteland made up of  original blues, country, folk and even a few Bob Dylan covers. The album has received rave reviews from the media and tracks have been played extensively on community radio RRR PBS and 3CR.  Over the years the band has played most of the major music festivals in the country and gained a regular following of devoted fans as a result of thousands of live performances. The Age named The Hornets “The best blues band in Melbourne”, and the Herald Sun said the band “demanded attention”. The is a band, in trio mode and best seen live!
