The Hoax was a blues-rock band founded in Wiltshire, England, active from 1991 through 1999. The band consisted of Hugh Coltman (vocals/harmonica), Jon Amor (guitar), Jess Davey (guitar), Robin Davey (bass), and Dave Raeburn (drums) later to be replaced by Mark Barrett (drums). After releasing two albums on the Code Blue label (formerly part of Atlantic Records), the band left to form its own label, Credible Records. On Credible Records, they released two more albums (as well as an EP) before disbanding in 1999.
