Hollow Wake
Hailing from the thriving rock scene of Nashville, Tennessee, Hollow Wake is a rising force in modern alternative and metalcore. Formed in 2022, the band quickly carved out a name for themselves with a sound that blends crushing heaviness, soaring melodies, and emotionally driven songwriting.
Comprised of vocalist Bobby Spencer, guitarist Josh Overton, bassist Jake Henderson, and drummer Matt Bowers, Hollow Wake channels themes of struggle, resilience, and personal growth into every track. Their music fuses elements of post-hardcore, emo, and hard rock, creating a dynamic style that feels both aggressive and uplifting.
The band’s debut album A Season to Bloom showcased their ability to balance raw intensity with melodic depth, earning them growing attention across streaming platforms and building a dedicated fanbase drawn to their authenticity. Known for their electrifying live shows, Hollow Wake continues to make waves across the Tennessee scene and beyond, leaving lasting impressions with their high-energy performances and emotional delivery.
Now entering their next chapter, Hollow Wake is pushing their sound further than ever before. With new music set for release in 2026, the band is leaning into heavier riffs, bigger hooks, and their most personal material to date. As they gear up for upcoming releases and live shows, Hollow Wake is poised to take a major step forward and solidify their place in the next generation of rock and metalcore.
