Las Vegas rockers Hollow Zoo have burst back onto the scene with their second single ‘Never Do What You Say’. A searing new track, and the first single from their upcoming EP ‘T.V. Static and Hate’, ‘Never Do What You Say’ is an absolute beast driven by defiance and rejecting corporate greed.
Formed in 2020, Hollow Zoo have been steadily building a name for themselves with their unique blend of rock and metal. ‘Never Do What You Say’ takes that blend and throws it into overdrive, delivering a sonic punch that'll leave you reeling.The song kicks off with this dark, brooding atmosphere. Think swirling guitars, almost hypnotic drums, and vocals that draw you in like quicksand. It's got this real sense of tension, like something big is about to happen. And boy, does it ever.
Reaching a fever pitch, the track explodes. The guitars crank up, the drums pound like a battering ram, and the whole thing transforms into this ferocious post-grunge anthem. It's raw, it's powerful, and it's utterly captivating. Honestly, the energy shift is so intense, it almost feels like you're listening to two different songs.
But what really sets ‘Never Do What You Say’ apart is its message. Inspired by a sci-fi novel, the song is a rallying cry for free thought and questioning authority. In a world where we're constantly bombarded with information, it's a reminder to think for ourselves and not just go with the crowd. It’s a damning call to arms and a fierce message to always question and never follow blindly.
The music video is a perfect visual representation of the song's themes. It's dark, gritty, and full of symbolism, with imagery that reinforces the idea of breaking free from conformity. The band's performance is electrifying, capturing the raw energy and emotion of the track.
‘Never Do What You Say’ is more than just a song; it's a statement. Hollow Zoo aren't afraid to challenge the status quo and encourage their listeners to do the same. With its crushing sound, thought-provoking lyrics, and powerful visuals, this single is a knockout. If ‘Never Do What You Say’ is anything to go by, ‘T.V. Static and Hate’ is shaping up to be one hell of an EP.
