New Hollow

On a whim, I sign into blogger, right? And then I realize that, hey, it's Friday.

And so here I sit.

Uh... um... well...

Hi?

Okay. WHEW. No clue what to say. Uhm...
Eh.

NEW HOLLOW!
Ah yes! I can write about New Hollow because it will
1.) It will tell Lexi
2.) I can give my opinion on something (shocker!)
3.) if SOMEONE ever logs into Blogger, he might be forced to read an entire post of ranting about a band he will absolutely never like (no offence to the band as this SOMEONE who hasn't blogged in SIX MONTHS and YES MAC I AM TALKING ABOUT YOU. UPDATE YOUR BLOG. YOU SAID YOU WOULD. GAH! Anyway, this someone doesn't like pop music.
4.) And it will be fun.


SO! NEW HOLLOW....

The band New Hollow combines a whole bunch of different sounds as every separate band member (of which there are three) brings their own influences into their music which is interesting because you can really hear the differences in their styles and you can hear the individual styles of each of them. You can really hear the different styles. I really think what the music industry needs right now is a group of kids who write their own stuff and who just want their music to be heard, and that's what these guys are. And, get this, they can actually play. Who would've known, eh? That two sixteen-year-olds and a fifteen year old could actually get together and collaboratively make decent music? Adults have their doubts, but New Hollow does exactly that.
And their group dynamic is excellent. Each member has their own style that fits into the band, with Chad (the drummer/rapper/vocalist on occasion) being, style-wise, the most laid back of the three. He seems quiet, but that may be because the other two band members are so outgoing that he can't get a word in edge-wise. However, I do think he is opinionated. If there was one thing I'd like to see from this band, it would be Chad speaking more (only, of course, if he wants to. under no circumstances does he have to talk).
Then there's Evan, with the most polished look of the group. He seems to favor suit-ish jackets and vests, and his haircut is mainstream. Surfer-ish mainstream, but not as surferish as aforementioned Surfer Boy. And, a shocker for the radio right now, his voice is actually more than decent. I mean, I can listen to his voice and hear the lyrics, instead of listen to the lyrics.
And then, of course, Mick, on guitar and vocal. I really love the artistic tricks he throws into his parts, like in their Airplanes cover, how when he sings the "it was just a dream part" he does whatever it is he does... if you've read my review of Princes and Frogs by Superchick, (click on the title to read it), you'll know that certain parts of songs really affect me. This one does, as well as the part in New Hollow's song Boyfriend (an amazing song, seriously) they do that think in the bridge where they all sing and stuff. Oh just listen to the song, for goodness sakes. GAH!
