Hosta's members are consist of Greg Moore on vocals, synth, samples, and guitar; Michael Jordan on vocals, synth, samples, and guitar; and Randy Kehne on electronic and acoustic drums.

Indierockcafe.com selected Hosta for their Band of the Week series and compared them to Pavement and Weezer. "The more we have listened to their self-titled debut over the past half year, the more it has proven itself as one of the best under-the-radar debuts of the year."

Since then, Their sound has become increasingly experimental and electronic. In 2009, Hosta released a self-titled EP which quickly sold out. Their new album "Bearfish" was released in January 2011.
