Hometown Tales With Hollow Leg

Hollow Leg

We've heard it all from Florida's Hollow Leg. We know about what foods they eat, the beer they drink, how awesome their last two releases are, but we really don't know much about where they're from.

As these gents are from Orlando, FL...

There should be loads to hear about.

Let's check in.


1. St. Louis City is my hometown. I've lived here for most of my life in and around the city. 

Where are you from?

Winter Garden which is just west of Orlando FL.

LP Review: "Civilizations" by Hollow Leg

Civilizations

It's been nearly thirty years since Pantera debuted (to the wider world outside of East Texas anyway.)

Before they came out metal was lacking in... well for no other words, danceability.

It was stiff and oftentimes painful. Since those dark days, you now see people at metal shows doing full on conga lines.

It seems strange, but here we are.

Now, generations later, we have Hollow Leg. They might not know it, but they're Pantera's great, great, grand, niece's second cousin twice removed after she fell in with the wrong crowd.

It's been a minute since Hollow Leg dropped the Murder EP. In that time, they've been working. This album features a new kind of metal. The walls are coming down. This thing is clearly fuzzed out. Just listening to it makes the wrackspurts come all up in my brain.

But it's also got a swing to it that even most groove metal acts can't quite touch. If you like metal, this one should probably be on your radar.

Let's check out the Hollow Leg fellows on more time.

By now, you've read my review of Civilizations and clearly it's time to think about what kind of beer the men there enjoy right?

Well, here you go. As you've still got 11 days till their masterpiece of sludge drops on your face, let's find out what kind of beers they're drinking.

What kind are you drinking?

1. My personal favorite beer style is the might Double India Pale Ale. The best DIPA in the world is STLIPA by Urban Chestnut. Tell me about your favorite style.

5 Minute Origin Stories with Hollow Leg

Hollow Leg

Have you ever been to Jacksonville, FL?

I have not, but being honest, this blogger still has a pretty exposed hatred for Jacksonville, FL. You want to know why?

Because of American Football.

1. Jacksonville got one of the expansion teams we were supposed to have gotten in St. Louis.

2. Jacksonville got the owner we were supposed to get in St. Louis, Shahid Khan.

Anyway, hockey and soccer are better sports (Fight Me. Fair warning, I'm three lessons into Karate.) than the NFL anyway.

Jacksonville, FL is not only the home to the football usurpers, but also to the acclaimed doom/sludge band Hollow Leg. Once again, they're rather willing to jump into my fray.

Make sure you read all the way to the end...there's a surprise inside!

As always, FACEBOOK and BANDCAMP are your friends.

Foods We Love with Hollow Leg

Hollow Leg

Coming all the way out of Jacksonville, FL, we have Hollow Leg.

You might recall their Murder EP.

They're currently putting the finishing touches on an LP due out this fall, but in the mean time, let's see what they're stuffing into their hollow leg...

1. For me, lunch is usually the meal where I don't have to deal with the Napoleon of Food. So it's my favorite meal. What's your best meal of the day? 

Probably breakfast, especially if the hangover situation is real! But the breakfast foods are some of the most comforting

Stream: "Crown (Murder Edition)" by Hollow Leg

Hollow Leg's EP, Murder, is finally out on this side of the pond.

Get thee to Facebook and ask them about those creepy bugs, but in the mean time, you can settle for enjoying the whole thing right here...

Well right here...

Of course right below the right here and I do mean the preceding right here.

Oh just look down.

EP Review: "Murder EP" by Hollow Leg

Murder EP

Any time we head to our favorite Vietnamese restaurant, we always get an order of Vietnamese Golden Egg Rolls.

These are just glorious. They are very skinny egg rolls that are deep fried and served with a translucent red dipping sauce. Anyone who gets Vietnamese food and doesn't order this is like someone who gets Thai food without ordering Chicken Satay.

In simpler terms: You're doing it wrong. It's like going to McDonalds on MacRib day and getting a double cheeseburger.

The appetizer is a lovely little course in terms of what should end up being a very good meal.

For myself, appetizers serve a wonderful purpose, by giving me a small snack, not only is my appetite whetted, but my blood sugar is sated. It's kind of a strange position, whetted and sated at the same time.
