Cobalt & the Hired Guns is a boot-stompin’, tambourine-shakin’, irresistibly genuine good time. Seamlessly blending upbeat genres from Americana to Ska, this band is about love and guts, energy and enthusiasm – refusing to pretend they aren’t having fun.

Their latest album Jump the Fence, now in its second pressing, was created at Chicago Recording Company with producer/engineer Brian Humphrey (State Radio, The Hives, Stephen Kellogg). It is a fresh blend of dance-fueling vigor and introspective sentiment. Jump the Fence is also a carbon neutral album – all of the greenhouse gases associated with the recording, production, and direct promotion of the CD were offset via investments in wind energy.
