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.
Cut the Ties
Hollow Point Heroes Lyrics

SCREAM YOUR LUNGS OUT
Death is to me
Something that I cannot be
It's hard to see when this life is draining me
Seeing is believing
And dying isn't trying
We scream so loud
Just to find out
That we're drowning and there's BLOOD IN THE WATER
Cut the ties and go your own way
They're so clear now all the questions have been answered
Cut the ties and go your own way
While some things fade this will never ever go away
You've got nothing
To say that I want to hear
Your words are blank
And carry no weight in here
Your lies are killing me inside
I don't want to live in this life
I'm going to run away and hide my scars
Take a deep breathe
Scream your lungs out
Feel the pain you must KEEP INSIDE
Cut the ties and go your own way
They're so clear now all the questions have been answered
Cut the ties and go your own way
While some things fade this will never ever go away
See how fake you are
And realize how all this has gone too far
See how fake you really, really are
You are
Cut the ties and go your own way
They're so clear now all the questions have been answered
Cut the ties and go your own way
While some things fade this will never ever go away
The lyrics to Hollow Point Heroes' song "Cut the Ties" explore themes of personal growth, self-discovery, and liberation from toxic relationships. The opening lines encourage the listener to release their inner frustrations and express their emotions freely. The next lines assert the singer's desire to live life on their own terms and to resist the inevitability of death. The following lines suggest a struggle to maintain a sense of purpose and meaning in life despite the pressures of the world. The phrase "blood in the water" is a metaphor for danger and vulnerability.
The chorus serves as a rallying cry for independent thought and action. The command to "cut the ties and go your own way" encourages the listener to sever ties with people or situations that hold them back. The repetition of this phrase emphasizes the importance of this message. The repetition of the phrase "some things fade this will never ever go away" suggests that certain things endure despite the passage of time.
The second verse expresses frustration with someone whose words and actions have caused pain. The singer feels trapped by this person's lies and seeks to distance themselves from them. The phrase "keep inside" suggests that the singer feels pressure to maintain an appearance of strength despite feeling vulnerable. The final lines are a repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the importance of breaking free from toxic relationships and living life on one's own terms.
