Straight out of Houston, Texas, Hollywood Black is just the right balance of confrontational punk-rock and soul-stirring poetics, using their music as a platform to lament society’s misplaced priorities and get the listeners of today’s popular music to do something they have not done in a while; think. With raw honesty and a refreshing lack of pretense, Hollywood Black focuses the magnifying lens on such subjects as man’s relationship to God, the corrupting power of money, unconditional love, and personal revolution. Hollywood Black is currently signed with Mia Kat Empire, an independent label based out of Houston, TX. Their first full length album “Two Thousand Years of Progress” was released on February 3rd, 2007. A follow-up EP entitled "Crooked Shepherd" was released on June 28th, 2008. The band is currently recording new material to be released in Winter 2009. Current members: Chris Wertz - guitar Ben Ellis - bass/vocals Anthony Schillaci - drums <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Hollywood+Black">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
