Hobotalk were a Scottish alternative rock band, playing the songs of the singer-songwriter Marc Pilley.
Together with guitar-player Ross Edmond, Al Denholm (bass) and Iain Bruce (drums), he founded Hobotalk in the late 1990s.
Both the EP and the following Scotland tour (supporting the indie rock band Gomez) received positive critical response for their heartfelt sound rooted in American-style folk.
Hobotalk's debut album Beauty in Madness was released in 2000 and also widely received with critical acclaim being shortlisted for the Mercury Prize.
Again, the album gained positive reviews, but did not form a commercial breakthrough for the band.
