Come To Our Shows!

About Me


------------------------------------------------------------ ----------
Armed with only the instruments on our backs and the words in our hearts, The Hollow Sound has always been about looking forward since the earliest months of 2005. This band is the driving force in our lives; it is what keeps us going--whether that be through writing, performing, or recording. Over the years we've put together a handful of EPs, the most recent of which being The Life & Times of The Hollow Sound, produced by Mike Poorman (ex-Hot Rod Circuit, producer of Paulson, TREOS, Piebald) at Strangeways Recording in Providence and mastered by Nick Zampiello (Against Me!, Isis, The Lot Six) at New Alliance East in Cambridge. We have been lucky enough to share the stage with Rookie Of The Year, The Matches, Kaddisfly, Royden, Christians & Lions, and many more amazing bands. In 2006 and 2007 we were invited to play the CMJ Music Marathon in New York City. Currently we are at home preparing and writing for our debut full-length and playing as many local and out-of-state shows as possible.
