Hollace

With their independent EP release back in April of 2016, they've demonstrated their work ethic and dedication as well as their talent. In one year, they wrote 10 songs, recorded these 10 songs themselves, produced it themselves, mixed it themselves and decided on 4 songs which they mastered themselves to release as an EP. At the same time playing local shows, winning the local summer showdown battle of the bands at The Hood Bar & Pizza back in August of 2015 and also winning "best new band" at the 2016 Coachella Valley Music Awards. They were finishing up their full length album as well as booking shows in San Diego, Orange County, Los Angeles and the Inland Empire when tragedy struck suddenly. In October of 2016, lead singer Alex Antonio collapsed suddenly and was rushed to the hospital. He was diagnosed with a brain tumor. 90 percent was removed surgically and the remaining 10 percent was malignant. To this day he is in treatment, but has bounced back quickly meanwhile and amazingly, is singing once again. Hollace is practicing again and is booking shows once again. They are picking up where they left off determined and stronger than ever before as a unit.
