Hollow Souls – Shotgun – Single Review – noblepr

Review By Darren McIntyre

Hollow Souls are a new blues – rock super – collective outfit from the brainchild of Kris Barras who was inspired by US Supergroup Supersonic Blues Machine. Hollow Souls were created as a homegrown jam band as a sparring exercise during his downtime, from his humble beginnings in Torquay, Devon to trading licks with the likes of Joe Bonamassa & Billy Gibbons on the world stage Kris has already lived a hundred lives that defy his youth & exuberance. Kris and band bring us new single Shotgun which I will be reviewing for you today, please sit back pour yourself a cold one and be ready to rock out.

Shotgun – From the outset you are getting a real heavy ended gritty, groover track that has depth, swagger and plenty in the tank that just instantly grabs your attention. The soaring, raspy vocals of Jon Harvey instantly set this track on fire as it just kicks in the doors and really gives the track some balls for sure, the killer rhythm section is command ing the room as it pounds away with a real dark, meaty bass kick as the snare drum punches rain down on us as we just kick back and feel the heaviness oozing from this colossal arrangement. The sweet, cool double guitar riffs are shattering the silence as Kris & Josiah really dig deep and show us what they are made of, this is a real gritty, bruising beast that really digs deep and bares it’s teeth as we feel the full force of this epic outfit that just gets better and better with each release. The cool backing vocals adds depth to this epic monster as it builds and builds and it wetting our appetites for the impending EP coming at us real soon.
