Hollywood:

Reflective aggression framed in restraint. Confrontational, personal, semi-gothic post-rock cut down to snapshots of dreamscape redemption.

We've taken it slow, took us close to a decade to get here. We've been moving around each other in separate outfits and bands that have toured the UK, Europe and Japan and finally, we settled in Hollywood. That's ten years a piece of writing, playing, performing, perfecting, swapping influences and recovering.

Coming from Nottingham and drawn out of Nottingham and Parisian bands (Dick Venom and the Terrortones, Captain Dangerous, Practical Lovers, Deaf Bridges and les Prussians), Hollywood allowed us to do something new...

Now we can draw from shared influences previously untapped. We can take time to create swathes of sound and mood and move slowly to combine a subdued aggression with a wry catharsis and confessionary narrative.

Weaving together Leonard Cohen, Kyuss, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Mogwai and Badseeds, Hollywood serves to show bravery in construction and intimate presentation.

We want to build.

And we want to be different.
