The Hoax Is Over is an album by Australian blues-rock band, The Aztecs.

Billy Thorpe, the leader of the Aztecs, renewed the band in late 1968.

Guitarist Lobby Loyde joined the band, and they turned to a more bluesy, heavier style.

The new band's debut album was recorded in September 1970, and was released at the beginning of the following year.

[3] All of four tracks of the album also released on the 3-CD compilation in 1994, but "Gangster of Love" and "Mississippi" (renamed to "Born in Mississippi") in a shortened version.
