About Me

Bursting from Southend, a widely known town, east of London, Hollywood Actress were born from a mutual love of honest, energetic rock music, when two friends began experimenting with songs one had recorded several years earlier..

The three-piece have set about assaulting the local gig-going community with their unique blend of melodic hooks, backed by their unyielding rhythm section; with local press citing them as, “A refreshing change from the self-conscience and smug style of rock (that is todays scene)" - DAVE Magazine, Issue 5.
After establishing themselves as a live act not to be reckoned with, H.A. recorded their self-titled debut EP (colloquially known as the white EP) which only paved the way for more high profile shows in and around the London area, including a Battle of the Bands final (Camden) and a place on the bill at Guilfest 2006 (Guildford) in July, who described their sound in their programme as, “punchy rock with great vocals".
What does the future hold for H.A.? With the intention of taking their music to the masses, H.A. are in the process of compiling a rigorous gigging schedule of venues nationwide, which they hope will include yours.------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------
We recently borrowed a 16 track recorder which we hooked up the other day to record some drums. At the end of the session we jamed one of songs on acoustic guitars. The recording came out better than expected, so we have put it up on our purevolume site.Visit our purevolume site to hear the acoustic version of "Let Me Out".
