The Hostages Went Home is a progressive post-rock band formed in Budapest, Hungary in 2010. Currently, the band consists of Adam Mayer (bass), Eszter Kádár (drums), Márton Miskolczi (guitar) and Susana G. de Quirós (vocals and guitar).

Bassist Adam Mayer, alma mater of the group was meeting some musician friends: the drummer Katalin Helfenbein (ex-First Aid 4 Souls), the guitarist and Swede Henrik Rost, the Képzelt Város’ guitarist, Márton Miskolczi. Very soon the singer/songwriter Susana García de Quirós would arrive to the band.

During 2011 the band went through several changes: after Henrik left, Susana took up the guitar, while Eszter Kádár (from Zombie Girlfriend) substitutes Katalin and collaborates on their first full lenght album.
