SINGLE REVIEW: Steam Donkey - High & Hollowed

Single Review
Written By Amy

'High & Hollowed' marks the debut release from San Francisco Bay Area's Steam Donkey, bursting onto the scene with an electrifying uptempo energy driven by catchy hooks and thunderous drums. The song seamlessly blends tempos, transitioning from lower-paced verses to an explosive banger of a chorus.

Drawing inspiration from 90s alt-rock, 'High & Hollowed' exudes vibes reminiscent of the era, with grunge distortion-filled, down-tuned riffage and heavy, ponderous basslines. This fusion of styles channels the indie-inspired melodies of Gigolo Aunts with the gritty heaviness of Alice in Chains.

The vocals strike the perfect balance between soulfulness and unbridled grit, delivering an elaborate and eruptive performance that captivates listeners. 'High & Hollowed' serves as a stellar debut, showcasing Steam Donkey's musical prowess and setting the stage for what promises to be an exciting journey ahead.
