Blow Up Hollywood is an underground American rock band. Their
eclectic sound, built over a decade of recording, incorporates many
different styles, diverse as progressive rock, post-rock, experimental,
pop, classical, jazz and ambient soundscapes. Founded by Steve Messina
and Nik Chinboukas in 2001, the group has evolved into more of a
collective than a band, as some of their members have changed over the
years. Take Flight was released in 2010.
In 2006 the band released what would become their most popular CD, both
nationally and internationally. With the debate over the war in Iraq
raging, the band released another concept album, The Diaries of Private Henry Hill.
Based on the journal entries of a young, deceased soldier from the Iraq
war, Blow Up Hollywood takes us on Private Henry Hill's surreal journey
as he joins the army out of necessity rather than patriotism.
The band is currently raising money from fans for the release and promotion of its latest creation, blue sky blond. You can help out here.
