Hollow formed in 1998 which was when the first EP 'EXHIBIT B'was recorded before a show was even played. Hollow was a 4-piece band back then with a much more stripped back straight up metal sound than it has now evolved into. After a few lineup changes, a new jazz/ambient metal sound evolved with the addition of Craig Richards on drums and Connor Baynes on guitar. A 2-track demo was recorded in late 2002 called 'AA' of which only 500 copies were released. This was to be a taster of the long awaited full length album.
Three Quarters of the way through recording the band folded due to family commitments and musical differences.
It's now 2008 and Hollow are playing again - finishing off their debut album and it's sounding sick!

Hello to all, Just thought we'd stop by and say thank you ,to all the awesome bands that have sent in their material which has been aired on the show throughout the years.
We have had an exceptional response through myspace from some of the most talented underground musicians in the world . It is your contribution to our show that show people that there are still actually real musicians out there [and rap is surely not damn music, neither is that techno crap].
Undergroundsounds airs throughout Australia Thursday/Saturdays p.m.
Bands that would like their music aired on any future shows can forward their material to the address below;
