It's catchy...it's high-energy...it's timeless. It's Hard Rock Music. And because it's coming back into favor with critics and mass media alike, many bands are quickly jumping on the band wagon. But not Gainesville's Hollow Days. They've been sweating it out in Florida's club scene, bringing the music they know and love directly to the people, giving 110% every night, whether they're playing in front of 1,400 or 14. Creating music inspired by Guns 'N Roses, Stone Temple Pilots, Black Sabbath and The Doors, Hollow Days write songs original yet somehow familiar.
Nick Estes (vocals) Joe Herchel (guitar) Dave Rivenbark (bass, backing vocals) and Luke Pidgeon (drums) have a natural chemistry that makes their music connect with the audience instantly. Crafting songs with strong hooks, soaring choruses and killer grooves, they have built a strong following throughout the state, playing regularly from Ft. Myers to Jacksonville, Tallahassee to West Palm Beach and everywhere in between. This is no "hobby" for the guys in Hollow Days, it's a way of life.
It was Joe who thought of the band's name. "I think it's an artist's job to reflect his times. When I first met Nick he talked about his appreciation for The Doors. The Doors had an album out in the late '60's called 'Strange Days' and I'm sure those were strange days to say the least. Then I started thinking about the music of our generation, with Britney, "bling-bling" and boy bands. There's no soul there. It's hollow. And that's why we named the band Hollow Days, it's a statement about our culture."
The guys in Hollow Days sincerely appreciate your interest in the band, thanks for checking out the CD, we hope you enjoy and are inspired by it.

Pure Honest Rock & Roll
author: InSite Magazine
Seattle has given us many things, and second only to mass produced coffee is the raw guitar sound that gave rock music a foundation in the complex music scene of the early '90s. And Hollow Days clearly remembers those sounds. On their first full length album On The Brink Of Madness, they proliferate the forgotten power of grunge rock.
Nick Estes' voice envokes memories of Eddie Vedder at his finest while the rest of the band play their insturments with a gritty clout that makes the music not only express emotion, but have emotion within. Title track On The Brink Of Madness is a softer ballad of introspection, but from the second track on the momentum never declines. Don't leave it too soon or you might miss "Without A Name", a song that may actually rock your socks off. Check out www.hollowdays.com for more information on Gainesville's apostles of post grunge.

it's good hard rock
author: www.pittriff.com
A group of good 'ole southern boys from Gainesville, Florida who pump out the jams via mid 1990s post grunge movement, this time with the inevitably, and rightfully so, southern flavor mixed in. Low fare production doesn't hinder the music in any way, in fact it gives the music credibility. Think of all the times you have hung out at clubs and bars listening to the multitude of wanna be rock bands slaughtering the classics, most of the time it's played so loud that you couldn't even tell your buddy how much the band sucks, so you leave. Well, this is one bar band that would not only keep your attention through their entire set, they also have ORIGINAL material ! I would lump these guys in with the early Seven Mary Three category, it's good hard rock, sometimes bordering on metal, with a couple of soulful ballads thrown in to change it up. Not bad at all, and I think they do justice to the legacy of Florida southern rock. PITRIFF RATING - 7/10
