Our Hollow, Our Home

Our Hollow, Our Home was a British metalcore band from Southampton first formed in 2013.

The bands formed in 2013 with Connor Hallisey as lead vocalist, Tobias Young as guitarist and backing vocals, Josh White as guitarist, Tim Hoolahan as Bassist, and James Tuckey as drummer. (Their formation followed a previous iteration in which Hallisey, Young, White, and Hoolahan had written and performed under the name 'Deadlines')

During the first few years of their formation, the British quintet released a 7-track EP called //Redefine in 2015, releasing 3 singles & videos - their debut single Rest Assured, which many still consider one of their best tracks - as well as singles 'If Those Were Guns, Reggie Be Dead', and 'Heisenberg'. In 2015-17, Our Hollow, Our Home performed at a series of well known venues in England, including headline shows at the Joiners in Southampton, Key Club in Leeds, The Wedgewood Rooms in Portsmouth, as well as playing Redfest, Butserfest, and Takedown Festival amongst others. The EP, combined with an intensely energetic on stage show, helped cement their reputation as 'one to watch' in the up and coming metalcore band scene, with Kerrang! detailing them in their 'local heroes' section of the magazine.

In 2017 they released 4 previously written songs titled Feast For the Crows, Throne to the Wolves, Worms Wood, and Karmadillo, before 2017 when all 4 songs appeared on their debut album Hartsick. During the time of release of these tracks, Hoolahan and Tuckey left the band, with Matt Tubb joining on bass, and Nick Taliadoros on drums. (Between 2018 and 2022, Tubb would later leave the band - initially replaced by Bobby Brooks, before Bobby left the band and Lawrence Welling joined - Taliadoros also left and was replaced by Alex Raynor)

Beforehand, they released their third album In Moment / / In Memory and the idea of the album came from guitarist and vocalist Tobias Young who spoke about his father who died from an aggressive form of lung cancer. Young stated that the moment of his life was the catalyst for the third album.^{[11][12][13][14][15][16]} In March of 2019, Our Hollow, Our Home headlined yet another show, this time at the Boston Music Room in London special guests Lock & Key, TheCityIsOurs, and The Uncharted.^[17] In September of 2019, the band released a music video to Parting Gift as an effort to provide all proceeds from digital sales to be donated to Macmillan Cancer Support.^[18] In November that year, the British metalcore quintet were among the acts for the Impericon Never Say Die!
