Info zu The Hollow Sessions

Red Rum Club are one of the most loved bands around the country on the live scene. Every gig is a sweaty celebration of joy, of rock n roll, and of the collective power generated by a gang of mates in tune with each other. When their music is put to record there is tendency for me as a listener to search out that energy, throw the volume to the max, and throw shapes around the room or my mind (if I’m walking through town). This is to the detriment of the music because Matador and The Hollow of Humdrum aren’t treated as the pieces of art they are.

Now though Red Rum Club have found a way to showcase their songwriting brilliance with The Hollow Sessions. This album is a selection of songs from Matador and The Hollow of Humdrum given the acoustic treatment. It is a brave and confident move to put your music out to the world in this format. There is no room for hiding. It’s like telling someone you love them for the first time in the middle of a silent art gallery. And they tell you they love you back. It is perfect, it is beautiful. It could have gone wrong, but instead you have this new moment of magic. That’s how it feels listening to these twelve songs. The songs in this format take me from wherever I am and put me into the studio as the lads sculpt delicate butterfly wings from granite. It goes without saying that it is still has loud moments. After all, it has “Joe The Blow” and quiet trumpet is oxymoronic for a reason. But with the stripped down guitars, brushed drums and Fran balancing his vocals between whisper and growl, The Hollow Sessions sounds beautiful, made for putting on your headphones and sitting on a bench in the sunshine watching the world pass by. (Gary Lambert)

Fran Doran, the band’s front man, says: “It’s been a rollercoaster for us all and while the ride still isn’t over, we’re all hoping for the best and hope more than anything that we’ll be on stage again by late summer. Between now and then, The Hollow Sessions presents new versions of the songs we’re really proud of, but we’re not done there. The only way can be up, can’t it?”

Red Rum Club
are a sextet from Liverpool, combing sounds of old and new channelling ‘Tarntino-esque’ wild western vibes with the help of a solitary trumpet. Liverpool influenced they deliver a modern twist of poetic yet catchy lyrics and melodies that blend to make the sound that is unmistakably, Red Rum Club.

"A collection of big anthemic singles each accompanied by the driving, melodic sound of early 60s guitar riffs" (GetIntoThis)
