Hollow

Hollow is an alternative rock band born out of the vibrant college town of Champaign-Urbana, home to the University of Illinois. With roots in late-night jam sessions and DIY house shows, the band has carved out a sound that blends driving guitar riffs, emotionally charged lyrics, and a raw, atmospheric edge.

Known for their high-energy live performances, Hollow draws inspiration from both classic alternative rock and the Midwest’s indie scene, fusing gritty dynamics with moments of melodic vulnerability. Their music speaks to themes of self-discovery, uncertainty, and the search for meaning—a reflection of college-town life and the transitional years it represents.

Hollow has quickly become a rising name in the Champaign-Urbana music community, playing everything from local bars and basements to campus events. Whether it’s a sweaty underground set or a packed venue, Hollow’s goal is the same: to make music that feels honest, connects people, and lingers long after the last note.
