New Kids On The “ROCK” Scene - Holes And Hearts

Holes And Hearts is a powerful rock band mature beyond their years. I say this because the group is comprised of two brothers who are 11 and 12 years old, although you’d never know it listening to their songs. When I first saw this band at the American Cancer Society’s “Relay For Life,” I knew they would make a great story for this magazine, because it’s hard enough to be a child this day in age, but a child and a musician makes it twice as hard. In their interview, on the podcast you will soon realize they are far beyond their years and destined for success if they keep the attitude they hold dear now.

At the interview with Holes And Hearts, I received a sneak peek of their brand new song “11:57,” which is about a divorce through the eyes of a child. I knew from the moment the song started it was going to be awesome. The words to this song are so powerful, it makes you feel as if you are the child, going through this experience. The vocalist delivers so much emotion that it made the hair on my neck stand on end. Holes And Hearts wrote the lyrics and composed the melody all by themselves, something every musician would be expected to do, except the band members are 11 and 12 years old! Boys that age should be worried about zits, girls and having fun, these brothers are doing that and writing really great songs.

Holes and Hearts passion in life is to share their music with the masses. Their mission is to “change the world” with their music, and they’re certainly on the path to getting there. They go to school like any kid would, do homework, rest for a few minutes, then spend the rest of the night practicing and writing new songs in their studio that their dad converted from a garage.

They wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for the support, love and promotion of their immediate family, their uncle who produces them, and their fans who keep the flame alive allowing them to continue doing what they love best, singing for people. They don’t care if it’s a paid gig or a charitable event, they just love to play. They did mention they enjoy doing charitable work best. “Sure we don’t get paid, but our work goes for a bigger cause.” said the boys, showing maturity beyond their age.

I hope over the next few years we can watch this talented young band grow and flourish. If they don’t fall into the harmful trends that plague the music industry, they will be fine; although after speaking with them this should not be a problem. Until then, we will all anxiously await the day they release their first record - it should be stellar.

You can see this band play at most charitable events throughout Florida and at some of your local hot spots. For more information go to their MySpace page www.myspace.com/holesandhearts
