The Hollowmen Project doesn’t just play music—they throw it at you like a Molotov cocktail. Led by the unapologetically wild Ray Dangerous, this band thrives on chaos, blending punk, garage, and surf rock into a sound that feels like a full-speed collision in a back alley. Their latest release, Manic Episodes, is six tracks of pure adrenaline, teetering between vintage rock ‘n’ roll madness and a full-blown panic attack.
From the opening notes, Manic Episodes drags you into its whirlwind of distorted guitars, breakneck rhythms, and raw, untamed energy. Matt Radical’s serrated riffs slash through the mix, while AJ Reckless’ bass lines rumble with the grit of a midnight brawl. This is music that’s meant to be played loud—loud enough to rattle windows, shake foundations, and leave a lasting mark.
The EP kicks off with Hello Big City, a frantic, surf-tinged sprint through neon-lit paranoia. Anaconda slithers in next, striking with venomous distortion and a bite that lingers. Then there’s Want It All, a gritty, in-your-face anthem dripping with rebellion and bad intentions. All of Me twists doo-wop into something dark and off-kilter, while Man in Black drags garage rock through the mud with swampy, snarling intensity. Finally, Hostage closes out the chaos with a no-escape, high-speed punk joyride that leaves you breathless.
Manic Episodes isn’t just an EP—it’s a statement. It’s for those who find beauty in disorder, who thrive when the world feels like it’s spinning out of control. Soaked in gasoline and ready to ignite, this is music for cheap speakers, broken hearts, and anyone who’s ever felt the walls closing in—only to laugh and turn up the volume.
