Album Notes

The HollyHotchers have been writing and performing original music since 1995, when the oldest member was just 15.

Since then, the band's sound has evolved and matured into a guitar-based pop-rock extraviganza.

The band consists of Matt Esolda (songs/guitar), Scott Wiener (percussion/guitar/production), and Pete Epple(bass)

Demo #3 is the New Jersey band's third release, as can be inferred by the title.

It follows two short cssettes which were released on a limited scale.

All three were completely recorded and produced by the HollyHotchers in Scott's basement.

Demo #3 provides a mixture of influences ranging from R.E.M. to Rusted Root to Ballz Out to Steve Dropkin.

Mr.T says "I pity the fool who doesn't buy the HollyHotchers' new release, demo #3."

Why do they rock so hard?
author: Mike Grau(number 1 Fan)
This cd is true genius. The fact that these guys are in highschool and can write and play this well, is amazing. My only complaint is that they should have included the lyrics. Sometimes it is hard to hear what Matt Esolda is saying. Besides that, this is some of the best music I've ever heard. Buy this cd. I command you to.

Only heard two songs but......
author: Joe Larsen
I've only heard two songs from the cd.But the musicianship and writing sound promising.It's not comparable to anything I can put my finger on.And I mean that as a compliment.It's very rarely that I hear a high school aged band that's even listenable.When guys this age can write even one unique piece of music they should stick with it.It's usually these kinds of musicians and writers that persist, develope, and eventually carve out thier own niche in music.
