The band consists of four members, Josh McQuay as the lead vocalist, Mike O'Rourke as rhythm and lead guitarist, Todd Pitman playing the bass guitar and Jeremy Cole playing the drums. All members made a decision early in their lives to use their skills as musicians. They have also used every opportunity presented to them to strengthen their personalities and talents to make them overall better musicians.
For the first few months of the bands career they were known as Victims Of The Fury. Due to issues with dedication, the groups first months were riddled with uncertainty and doubt. After a couple of member changes the band finally found the correct elements to continue their journey as Hollow Point Heroes. Immediately after their first show as H.P.H. the four friends knew they had something great and that they needed to pursue this dream to its' fullest potential.
Hollow Point Heroes has played venues all over from St. Louis, Missouri to Nashville, Tennessee. Their greatest triumph thus far has been their opportunity to play at one of Missouri's largest music festivals, Pointfest presented by 105.7 the point. In front of a crowd of 5,000 people they proved not only to themselves but to everyone else that they have the potential with hard work to become the greatest rock band to ever emerge from St.Louis.
H.P.H. is not only a band, but a brotherhood standing four strong trying to be heard in this extremely loud world. Their work ethic is unlike any other and their faith in music can never be broken. From drug addiction to broken hearts their songs touch many. Hollow Point Heroes is a standing testament to the people that when staring into even the darkest of times, hard work, dedication and staying true to yourself will always prevail. Follow your dreams, you only live once.
Calm Before the Storm
Hollow Point Heroes Lyrics

You can feel it getting closer
The signs are tattered and torn
Darkness fills the sky
Can you feel the rain?
The water's getting deeper
Lightning strikes the ground
There's no one left to save you now
SO STAND UP AND FIGHT
For what you think
What you think is right
STAND UP AND FIGHT
Fight to keep, fight to keep your life
Can't you see that something has to change before it's too late
Or you'll suffer the wrath of the storm that you create
It's not up to fate
The choice is yours to make
So don't you run and hide
Inside yourself you will find
The will, the way
To see through all this rain
When all hell breaks loose here
You'll know what to fear
The churning waters
Will not show you the mercy I will
SO STAND UP AND FIGHT
For what you think
What you think is right
STAND UP AND FIGHT
Fight to keep, fight to keep your life
Can't you see that something has to change before it's too late
Or you'll suffer the wrath of the storm that you create
It's not up to fate
The choice is yours to make
SO KEEP YOUR HEAD
From going under
AND TRY TO FIND
Shallow water
AND CATCH YOUR BREATHE
It's getting harder
AND TAKE MY HAND
It'll all be over
When you're drowning in the water
Think to yourself
"We're lucky to be alive, and see this life through these eyes"
Hoping in pain to be the best
While still being able to push through the rest
When you're drowning in the water
Think to yourself
"We're lucky to be alive, and see this life through these eyes"
Hoping in pain to be the best
While still being able to push through the rest
It's the calm before the storm
You can feel it getting closer
The signs are tattered and torn
DARKNESS FILLS THE SKY
SO KEEP YOUR HEAD
From going under
AND TRY TO FIND
Shallow water
Can't you see that something has to change before it's too late
Or you'll suffer the wrath of the storm that you create
It's not up to fate
The choice is yours to make
It's not up to fate
The choice is yours to make
It's not up to fate
The choice is yours to make
The song "Calm Before the Storm" by Hollow Point Heroes is a powerful anthem urging listeners to stand up and fight for what they believe in. The lyrics suggest that something significant and dangerous is approaching, but it's not too late to change course and avoid disaster. The "calm before the storm" is a time of tense anticipation, with signs that the worst is yet to come. Darkness fills the sky, and the rain is getting heavier - but there is still time to act. The song encourages listeners not to run and hide but to stand up and fight.
The lyrics go on to emphasize that the responsibility for change lies with each individual. The choice to make a difference is in their hands, and they must not wait for fate to decide their future. The chorus repeats the phrase "Stand up and fight for what you think is right" as a call to action. The song suggests that there will be pain and hardship, but pushing through and striving to be the best can lead to a better future. Finally, the song suggests that there is hope, and by keeping their head above water, finding shallow ground, they can survive the storm and take control of their lives.
