The Hollow Sound totally caught us off guard. Usually bands with female vox fall into at least one of three categories: whiny punk-pop (ie Meg and Dia), operatic depression (Evanescence) or angelically light (Tegan and Sara). So, as we were all placing bets on what this band sounded like based on opening guitar riffs we figured we had run into The Veronicas... again.
But boy oh boy were we wrong. The riffs, although punk-pop in influence, are brilliantly placed among Maddie Herec's smooth alto-ranged vocals. The hooks are addictive, but not in an adolescent kind of way.
It okay, get obsessed... we won't tell anyone.
If you're planning on going to six flags in Agawam, MA August 27th, you should go say hi to 'em. They'll be playing with All Time Low if that does (but totally shouldn't) make a difference.
If you can't wait that long, they'll be on Music Matters TV this Sunday (August 16th) at 1:00PM.
