"It Won't Stick", the first song I heard from Hollus, did exactly opposite of what the title suggested. It's as gritty as some of the darkest Rock n' Roll music produced during the 60's-70's, yet didn't come across as something re-produced. I still haven't put my finger on what it is, but it's there and a feat only accomplished by a few bands in the present day. Hollus isn't trying to be anything else, they are simply Hollus, a rich, organic, group of fellas, and one lady, offering a batch of songs that represent the real world. People are turning heads and taking a peek at Hollus, if nothing more but to see a band doing it like they used to. But if they start listening, they'll realize Hollus is an undeniable musical force, taking the over-produced world of music that corrupts sound today and giving music fiends around Chicago an exhilarating experience for their ears.


A Chicago-based Soulful Rock n' Roll experience that pairs post-british invasion blues and raw stomping choruses with a love-induced romantic adoration for the new wave of lank-haired, starry-eyed girls and boys of the revolution who don't want to know any better.

"Joker and the Queen," the third LP by Hollus is an incredible departure for the energetic Chicago sextet. Playing like a soundtrack to an American road trip, Hollus has managed to blend heartfelt backwoods Americana, bombastic spontaneity, and a forward motion to their sound and storytelling, that has fans raving.
