Whatever your taste in popular music you will find it satisfied in the songs of The BlackHollies, Their music occurs within and simultaneously destroys the pre-existing frame-works like any true revolution whether musical, spiritual, political, or artistic, The BlackHollies approach to songwriting, like revolution, is born of a single unfettered notion; thewill to create that which has never been thought of before.As a group, Scott Thomas Bolasci, Jon Gonnelli, Justin Angelo Morey, and Herbert JosephWiley V are four seasoned instrumentalists with a reverence for rock and roll's past. 3/4of the band honed their chops over a lifetime of touring and studio work as members ofRye Coalition, while the other was simply born with the ability to create magic behind thekit. Combined, the 4 create sounds that are new, exciting, colorful, rudimentary, and com-plex. Their sound speaks in pictures and it channels pop music's vast vernacular byrevamping the idioms of rhythm and blues. In the vein of The Yardbirds, The Pretty Things,The Who, The Pink Floyd Sound, The Cream, the spirit of Stax, and a lifetime of immersionin rock, soul and their accompanying revelations, The Black Hollies set out to createfuture classics by harnessing relics left by those who came before them.Not content to compromise their vision, The Black Hollies submerged themselves intheir own home crafted studio under the trained ears of long time friend/engineerMike Clear and then completed the project with the assistance of Alap Momin. Theend result is their debut LP Crimson Reflections, a remarkable outpouring of toe-tap-ping beauty from the center of the universe. Scott Thomas Bolasci is The Big BangTheory spontaneously nurturing the hip shaking swing into existence with his preciseinterpretation of time, Jon Gonnelli's rhythm guitar efficiency is planet earth to HerbertJoseph WHey V's outer-space lead guitar time travel. Electric bassist/lead vocalistJustin Angelo Morey's seemingly simple odes to beautiful women cloud the listener'slooking glass, revealing upon closer inspection the imagery of the blues, the weepsand the wails of addiction and desire.In a brief existence The Black Hollies have already made their impact. They've played withTed Leo/RX and The Greenhornes, and they've rattled the walls of every room they loadinto. Their well-tailored look is aligned with their song structures' adherence to form, whilethe playing, the happening of it all, the revolution, and the sound itself, are all departuresfrom form into the nether regions of FREAK-OUT. Crimson Reflections is a journey throughthe looking glass mind. It is the culmination and aural paradox of making too much hap-pen in not enough time, an echo of what we miss with each blink, breath, and passingmoment, Too much can be said and not enough understood -better heard than writtenabout, as the hearing IS the seeing. Ladies and Gentlemen, we give you The Black Hollies.
