NYC band on the rise: The Midnight Hollow plays Union Pool on 06.11

Last night at Baby’s All Right we stumbled upon Brooklyn’s trio The Midnight Hollow, and were impressed by their performance. Active since the beginning of the decade, the band plays moody rock with vibes reminiscent of some rather psychedelic acts from the 80’s new wave. Their vaguely epic, fully arranged songs and lead vocalist (and songwriter) Spencer Draeger’s intimidating tenor bring to mind Echo and the Bunnymen’s peak records from the mid 80s. They recently released a new EP entitled ‘For The People Inside,’ featuring singe "Forward" (streaming below). You can see them next at Union Pool on June 11.
