The Hobknobs are a jangle pop duo from Rotterdam and The Hague, comprising Yaël Dekker (The Klittens) and Arie van Vliet (Lewsberg). Having long admired each other’s work, they decided to collaborate and headed into the Katzwijm Studio. The duo made their debut in June 2026 with ‘Helmets Off’, a debut album full of simple, thoughtful guitar pop that proves the strongest songs are sometimes created without an excess of instruments, influences, or overdubs.
