Johnny Hobo And The Freight Trains

Johnny Hobo and the Freight Trains are what would happen if Ghost Mice were getting drunk on a bus with Leftöver Crack and picked up the Mountain Goats and a stranger with a bag full of coffee and narcotics. Johnny Hobo and the Freight Trains was an acoustic folk-punk band from southern Vermont. They dont like the punk scene, the indie scene, the emo scene, the hardcore scene, the ska scene, the anti-scene scene, the political activist scene, or your scene. But they do like my scene, the trainhopping beautiful accoustic playing hobo scene. No, he doesn't like your scene either, you disgusting prick. They are a part of Spare Change Records and consist of Pat the Bunny on guitar and vocals, Jeff-Face on harmonica and vocals, Flash-C on trumpet, Ian Skumfuk on washtub bass and vocals, Roman on bicycle and vocals, and Rockstar Mike on washboard, bass drum, and vocals. Johnny Hobo and the Freight Trains played catchy songs with clever, smart lyrics that attempt to synthesize their anarchist leanings with their hopeless outlook on the world. Alcohol and drug use are common themes within their music, and they’re 100% acoustic. Wanna make something of it? More to the point, they yell a lot. Did anyone mention they like to drink? They have since broken up. They played their last show Hartford, CT, January 2007, but you can still purchase a CD of theirs from Spare Change Records for five dollars. Pat the Bunny now leads the band Wingnut Dishwashers Union. They do not write songs about doing drugs or drinking, at least not in a manner that advocates doing those things.
