The Hollow Truths Release New Single "Chasin A Dream" | The Metalverse.net

Forming in 2017 in Baltimore, Maryland, The Hollow Truths define themselves as "modern 90s" music. The act released their latest single Chasin' A Dream (Acid In My Coffee) on August 4th, 2025.

The track bursts into action with a hard-hitting electric guitar that has a signature country-esque "twang" to it. The full band kicks in as booming drums, talking samples, and ambient guitar melodies fill in the background. Singing vocals kick in, furthering the band's country-rock influences as even more twang is added into the mix. The Hollow Truth's shows their hard rock influences aren't going anywhere in a fierce bridge that features guitar chugging and a soaring guitar solo.

The Hollow Truths are known for their lyrics-focused tracks that tell stories throughout the song. Chasin' A Dream references ambition, the drive to write a hit song, and the balance between aspirations and work-ethic with the line "I've got all this fuel, but no ignition".

Overall Chasin' A Dream is a powerful track that delivers a catchy sound that rides the line between country and hard rock with a special focus on story-telling. You can stream The Hollow Truths' latest single out now!
