The Hollow (from their website)
The Hollow is a dynamic alternative, art rock band forged in the fall of 2013 and is the brain-child of Spencer Townshend Hughes (frontman/rhythm guitarist/vocals). They possess a tightly focused sound that threatens to transform the pedestrian landscape of contemporary rock & roll. With thoughtfully layered guitars built upon a hard-driving rhythm section, their powerful music features beguiling lyrics and infectious melodies that evoke modern rock icons such as Queens of the Stone Age and MUSE.
“The Hollow” embodies a sense of darkness that reminds us that death is coming for us all. It is that awareness that makes every living day sweeter and more meaningful. Live the life you want today. Live Life in Death. Don’t wait.
Spencer & Jonathan Bray (lead guitar/vocals) first worked together on former Rock & Roll project Avenues & Reservoirs and the first iteration of The Hollow: Into the Hollow. As time went on, Jonathan took on a more active role in the band, helping to implement a digital marketing strategy, shred some guitars, and belt tasty harmonies for a fuller sound than ever before.
Ethan Kotel (bass guitar/vocals) is a prodigious guitar player who turned his eye towards the driving power only the bass guitar can provide. His deep understanding of music theory, along with his technical proficiency and engineer’s ear, provides a solid anchor to the rhythm section.
No lineup would be complete without the perfect drummer, and in 2017 The Hollow rounded out the cast with the addition of Jason Hoke, an incredibly technical drummer formerly of The Epilogues. With Jason’s trademark humor and ability to pull the entire band into the pocket, The Hollow have attained a level of tightness reserved only for the most well-known rock icons.
Spencer writes with drummer, producer, dear friend, and mentor, Sid Riggs (Drummer: Sinisstar and 2wo; Audio Engineer). The rock mentorship Sid provides has been instrumental (no pun intended) to the band as aspiring musical entrepreneurs, willing to put in the work to rise in the rock ranks.
They have also been fortunate enough to have found wise counsel from Bob Marlette (Producer: Filter, Rob Zombie, Alice Cooper, Black Sabbath, Tracy Chapman, Marilyn Manson, and our personal favorite, Anvil) who has provided immense guidance on how to craft the sound, play the part, and do it all authentically. Exuding nothing but the kind of rock & roll cool that is required to have longevity in the industry, Marlette has taught us our ABC’s… Always Be Cool.
The Hollow has one definitive goal: deliver exceptional music that makes people fall in love with rock & roll all over again.
