They formed in the summer of 2000, with a line-up of three - Mike Casarin, Kent Abbott, and Drew Clark, in the lovely Shakespearean city of Stratford, Ontario, Canada. A fourth member, Brad Casarin, was added later in the year. These individuals truly reflect the meaning of the word "band". They have been close friends for many years, Brad and Mike are brothers, Kent and Mike live together and all four of them sport a large crown tattoo with the words 'Heirs to the Throne' - an enternal branding of their solidarity. Although touring heavily with the internationally recognized Grade, his main band at the time, Brad managed to find time to write and record the group's first album. The self-titled debut was released in May 2001 on the Toronto based label, East End Industries. After a couple of years playing houses, garages, and small punk clubs, their driving, slightly metallic, melodic punk sound was born and is reflected on this recording. Brad continued to play with Grade which left Somehow Hollow struggling as a three-piece. Soon after, Kent left to join Grade leaving Mike and Drew to contemplate Somehow Hollow's future. Strangely enough, as Grade lost their bassist and drummer, Mike and Drew were invited to play with Grade. Somehow Hollow was put on touring hold for nearly a year, but continued the songwriting process while on tour with Grade and during breaks from the road. Grade came to an unfortunate end in July of 2002. With a rekindled spirit, solid international touring experience (the guys had toured the US, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and Europe with Grade) and plenty of songs, Somehow Hollow would soon take on a new level of priority and focus- purely for the love of the music. In August 2002 4 songs were sent to Victory Records and the band was signed shortly thereafter in September. They started recording their debut Victory release October 1. The Burlington, Ontario based band toured and played shows for a little more than 2 yrs and called it quits in 2004.
