Johnny Hobo and the Freight Trains were a nihilist drug punk band from southern Vermont. They didn’t hop freight trains. They did like to drink forties by the train tracks where the police wouldn’t bother them. Most shows were a solo acoustic performance, but the full band at various times included Flash-C (trumpet) Ian Skumfuck (washtub bass) Jeff-face (harmonica) Roman (bicycle) Michael Jordan (drums) Wyatt (harmonica).

The last show was in 2007. There is no source to order physical copies of Johnny Hobo and the Freight Trains music, but a variety of online torrents and other pirated sources are available. The band has given full support to pirating Johnny Hobo music, and any other music you want.

Lead songwriter Pat “The Bunny” (Pat Schneeweis) went on to play similar music with less destructive lyrical content in Wingnut Dishwashers Union, until entering rehab for drug addiction in late 2009. He is currently writing songs and playing in the Tucson-based punk rock band Ramshackle Glory.
