Nickelback has spawned way too many bands — some decent and some not so decent. Slot 3 Years Hollow (not to be confused with Three Days Grace or 3 Doors Down) somewhere in the middle. This band, with members from Iowa and Illinois, also has been compared to Chevelle, Disturbed and Sevendust, and while you can hear traces of those bands on 3 Years Hollow's third album, The Cracks, the Nickelback comparisons are still unavoidable. Vocalist Jose Urquiza's gritty and emotional delivery is backed by the serrated guitars of Tony Reeves and Neil Kuhlman, and intense songs like "Hungry" and "Take the World" are primed for radio.
Some of the other tracks here lack the kind of hooks that generated a massive audience for the bands that influenced 3 Years Hollow. But if you're a fan of the subgenre, The Cracks should fill a hole in your modern rock/alt-metal collection.
