Hollow Sidewalks: “Pumpin’ For Jack”

Tracks
Written By Michael Gutierrez

A rock n roll howler. It’s Hollow Sidewalks, straight outta Portland. That’s Portland, Oregon. Our highlighted track “Pumpin’ For Jack” feels like it’s channeling Halloween, right? Insert “pumpkin” for “pumpin’” and think “jack ‘o’ lantern.” Plus, the orange background on the album cover. Am I hallucinating this connection? Shades of Dum Dum Girls meets bluesy roadhouse band. Perfect for the spooky season, perfect for any time.

Stream, share, buy to your heart’s content.
