hollow is a project I'd begun years ago and have never been able to focus enough time on. As you can see, the only music I've put out is this one song on the compilation "Pop For Charity: Sound Progression" 4 years ago. The rest are demos (if you can call them that) I did with Andrew Johnson of Happy back in 2002 to try to kick myself in the ass. Eric Van Thiel from The Wills/Drop Dead Giants helped out with some vocals. Well, four years later, this is all there is recorded. Too scared or too lazy, not sure yet. I've put the bulk of my time the last six years trying to get doubleplusgood records off the ground and consider that my main focus. Between that and working another job trying to fund the label, it doesn't leave a whole lot of time for my own music. Mostly, I have extremely high standards when it comes to the music I release, so therefore, don't feel like my own stuff is on par with the other bands I work with. Well, at least I don't have to worry about finding a label to put it out once I get my shit together, right? If you like the stuff, I'm glad. If not, I agree that it sucks too. Looking for another guitar player who sings to play off of, so if you live in the Minneapolis area, hit me up. I have a million ideas and few completed songs as you can see. Trying to rededicate myself to this, so we'll see what happens.
