   About The Hostage


The Hostage is now on Facebook! Everyone, please become a "fan" of our page at facebook.com/thehostageband.

Bio:

"It's like if the Smashing Pumpkins were trying to play Pink Floyd." That's how you describe The Hostage. The Hostage is an alternative rock band and makes no apologies for it. Yet it couples the spirit of alternative rock with the epic sounds of the 70s. It's a unique sound but an approachable one - something you've never heard but that faintly resembles a memory. Take two songs with water and call us in the morning.

FREE DOWNLOADABLE SONGS are here!

Please take the downloadable songs and burn them, give them to your friends, submit them to radio stations, shoot skeet with them, or whatever else you want! Whatever it takes to get the word out -- The Hostage will be silent no longer!

Regarding Merchandise:

Please see our online store to the left. WE ARE AWARE THAT THE LINKS ARE BROKEN, and we have contacted Myspace regarding the issue. In the interim, please message or call 662.617.0497 to place your orders. / Alternatively, stickers are free at shows!

How YOU can help:

To those who have been truly touched by our music, we CANNOT do this alone. Please contact us by message to learn how *you* can be a part of taking The Hostage to the next level. We need your help, and we will happily welcome you into our fold.

Booking:

So we're not playing where or when you want us too. You're not out of luck yet. We encourage you to contact us about a booking at 662.617.0497 or 731.608.6512. The Hostage is available for private bookings.
