... Sometimes it’s good to just hear a good old dose of rock ‘n roll without a thousand bells and whistles. The Hollow can be counted on for exactly this, as their self-titled debut packs enough soul, rock and electricity into their 11 tracks to power a small city. If you’re looking for a rocking good time, then look no further: The Hollow are at your service.
The Hollow are a band with considerable promise. They don’t just belt out the crunchy rock tracks one after another, but instead they infuse their music with a lot of soul, variety and precision. They also don’t just play the same three chords over and over either, instead choosing to mix in time changes on several songs to change up the dynamics. It’s because they are so well-rounded as musicians that this band has a chance to go somewhere, and The Hollow is a great starting point for the band.
In an age where it seems like albums just aren't what they used to be, The Hollow set out to do the unthinkable... write an album full of great music, where every song matters and every song moves you in some way... an album that grabs you from beginning to end, doesn't let go and leaves you wanting to come back for more... and more. The new self-titled album opens with the intriguing atmospheric guitar melodies of Run Away and over the journey of 12 songs, explodes into driving rhythm sections, huge crunching guitars, powerful vocal performances and leads you into an out-of-body/out-of-mind sounding experience of the album's final track Feel So Alone. To put it simply, The Hollow rocks... and every song on this album deserves to be cranked up and enjoyed!
The Hollow (Brian Wilson, James Vilade, Kevin Barry and Steve Babula) worked hard over the past year writing and recording all the tracks on this album—entirely self-produced, recorded and mixed by the band in bass player Steve Babula's private studio. They are proud that they have accomplished what they set out to do, taking the time to create the type of music that they want to hear and hope it will reach both new and old fans with the same passion and excitement that went into the process.
