Let You Down

Savior in Denial

Peter Pan and Wendy

The Day George Harrison Died

Lyrics:
There is sits
Like a thousand unlit suns
In the belly of a hollow manatee
Eating spirits quietly
I sing, "I can't return from death"-
A peaceful fear that fills my chest - 
Once the law propels my bones,
The sea is now my safest home.
My muscles become prisoners - 
This metal cage: my universe.
Her stomach makes an awful sound
As we fall a little farther down.

All phenomenon has the right to try
But even Jupiter's storms will die. 
All god's refugees, staring at my purple mouth
Spitting its venom about, screaming:
Get Up! Get Out! Get Down!

You try to stick to the established practice,
Find some hope in all the madness,
And end up with poetic sadness:
Songs to sing to god. 
My mind can still remember pain,
My mind can still remember names,
My mind can still think of ways
To sing the praise of god...
My captain: rotting in his chair - 
There's nothing left to see up there  - 
His orders are to sit, and stair, and wait
For signs from god.

Religion Full of Lead

Up Through the Glass Floor

Hollywood Blanks is a Baltimore rock band formed in 2012. Current members are Jimmy O'Keefe (vocals, guitar, lyrics), Rich Koln (bass, vocals, ethereal sounds), Trevor Shipley (keys, organ, synth, guitar, drones, vocals) and Scott James (core energy, drums). 
The band combines a dynamic, soulful, heavy, atmospheric, acid rock sound with deadpan, anxious, reached-the-end-of-your-rope, bedroom-recording-style folk lyrics. It's as if Townes Van Zandt had a vision to critique American culture by writing apocalyptic metal songs akin to Black Sabbath, while also giving more than a tip of the hat to The Doors and David Bowie. 
The catalyst was their 2015 debut album, Projections, which they self-produced and released on vinyl and bandcamp. But anyone that has seen one of their shows knows that their unique potion of sounds and vibes has only become more potent and more refined by their live performances. They look forward to transferring this energy into their next single, which will feature songs that they have been performing regionally since the band began booking with Leesta Vall. Check their site for weekend one-offs and look for tour dates in Summer 2017 (NY, PA, NJ, VA, NC, SC).
