The Hollow Men

Founded in 2001 by four music lovin' friends from the Dutch towns of Goes and Zierikzee, raised on a steady diet of Heavy Metal, Punk and Classic (Hard)Rock. They play their first shows as The Speed Kings but since there are a bunch of other bands and artists with similar names they rapidly change it into The Hollow Men, after their first self-written tune.



Two demos are released. Despite the fact that they're both clearly recorded with no budget to speak of the reactions in the music press are mostly positive. Comparisons are made with Hüsker Dü, Screaming Trees, Queens Of The Stone Age, Foo Fighters, Entombed and one very big and well-known Dutch Rock & Metal-magazine even calls 'em 'potentially' the new Aerosmith (!!?). Many shows are played, including supports for some of their heroes like Peter Pan Speedrock and Dead Moon, a mini club tour with NWOBHM legends Diamond Head and even a gig at Antwerp State Prison.



Now it's 2009 and The Hollow Men are still going strong, now as a threesome. New material is being recorded as we speak. To be continued.
