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.

Can you see what you've done to me
Your words still in my brain
It'll never be the same
I have these feelings
That I've never shown
How did it come to this
So I'll sit inside my prison
For all eternity
All because of you and me
Sit down, shut up
And just pay attention
I don't remember how we got in this
Kind of situation
All I know is you're always on my mind
I can't escape this fate
I've left behind
It comes back to haunt me every time
The past is past
It moves so fast
I wish we had more time
To get things right
You were the sun that took my clouds away
You dried my ground and took away the sounds of insanity playing on this c.d.
Stuck
Skipping in my brain
You were the love inside my laughter
The last page of this chapter
How does it feel to have something great and lose it all
You've lost it all
Sit down, shut up
And just pay attention
I don't remember how we got in this
Kind of situation
All I know is you're always on my mind
I can't escape this fate
I've left behind
It comes back to haunt me every time
And how much longer will you sit dormant
And let a lifetime pass in silence
Have you always been that numb
You want me
Come get me
I have always been yours
Sit down, shut up
And just pay attention
I don't remember how we got in this
Kind of situation
All I know is you're always on my mind
I can't escape this fate
I've left behind
It comes back to haunt me every time
Left behind
It comes back to haunt me every time
Left behind
It comes back to haunt me every time
LEFT BEHIND
It comes back to haunt me every time
The lyrics to "Sit Down and Shut Up" by Hollow Point Heroes depict a painful and regretful experience of a broken relationship. The singer in the song appears to be haunted by memories and feelings associated with the person who hurt them. The opening lines, "Can you see what you've done to me? Your words still in my brain. It'll never be the same" suggest that the singer has been deeply affected by the other person's actions or words. The pain is so intense that they feel trapped in their own thoughts and emotions like a prison. The line, "So I'll sit inside my prison for all eternity, all because of you and me" implies that the singer blames both themselves and the other person for the situation they find themselves in.
The chorus, "Sit down, shut up, and just pay attention" repeats throughout the song, potentially indicating the singer's frustration with the other person's lack of accountability or understanding of the hurt they caused. The words "Sit down and shut up" can also be interpreted as a demand for the other person to stop talking and just listen for once. The singer is pleading with their former partner to understand their pain, but the other person seems to be oblivious to it.
The final lines of the song, "And how much longer will you sit dormant and let a lifetime pass in silence? Have you always been that numb? You want me, come get me, I have always been yours" suggest that the singer is desperate for the other person to acknowledge their pain and take action to repair the relationship. However, there is also a sense of resignation in these lines, as if the singer knows that things might not change.
