Yuma Arizona used to be a pit stop from Phoenix to San Diego. Its reputation as one of America’s hottest cities put it on the map, and so did that flick “310 to Yuma.” The city has since blown up, making the roads look like clogged arteries. It’s definitely not one of the traditional cities where punk rock was first born decades ago, such as Bad Religion emerging from LA, and Bad Brains from Washington D.C. But the best talent can sometimes be found the last place you look. As we say in the TV business, success doesn’t have a script. Demise of Hollywood is a band as innovative as it’s name is. Walk around anywhere in Yuma and ask who Demise of Hollywood is, and you’ll find out. I asked Chris, the janitor who cleans the local gym I hit up, and he knows who they are! They’re the next big thing, they’re going to be as successful as their creative and ingenious name is. After interviewing bands and musicians for many years, it’s one of the coolest names I’ve ever heard, and the story behind it is even better. (You’ll have to ask the guys about it.) The name “Demise of Hollywood” itself is a winner. The dream started out as four guys from totally different musical backgrounds, stemming from pop punk, hardcore, metal core, rock, and industrial music. The band shatters the stereotype that you only need to know three cords to be in a punk band. In an era where you’ll mostly find punk bands with three to four members, maybe five, Demise of Hollywood has six guys, and they make it happen without a glitch. Each member contributes to a sound that has grown a huge fan base in the Desert Southwest. The band started out the place most bands do, in the garage, and have developed into a powerhouse, playing on the same stage as bands such as Suicide Silence, Walls Of Jericho, Broadway Calls, Death is not Glamorous, Katsumoto, The Ghost Inside, Winch Mob, If Tomorrow Never Comes, and that’s just to name a few…
The band has the passion and determination to make it in the crazy music business that breaks dreams, and sends bands home to try their hand at something else in life. The band tours relentlessly, and have already tore the roof off venues such as The Clubhouse, The Sets, and Libations in Phoenix, Arizona, and the Jillian’s in Las Vegas. The band has been featured in all local media in Yuma, including the local newspaper, “The Daily Sun,” KSWT 13, the local CBS affiliate, and KYMA, the local NBC affiliate. Demise of Hollywood also recently filmed a music video and released their new EP “One for Looking, Two for Flinching.” The guys have proved that they can compete with anyone, anytime, anywhere. They were semi-finalists in the regional Battle of the Bands in Las Vegas. These guys are the real deal, no joke. In the short time they’ve been together, the band has already picked up sponsors, including Thrust Drums, Breakdown, Broad Horizons clothing, & Drum Star Wear. I was in two punk rock bands myself, both obviously didn’t go anywhere. One was talented with no drive, the other had drive, but no talent. These guys not only have these qualities, they are motivated, determined, tenacious, sublime, superlative, and every other big word in the dictionary. I went to college for seven years, (no, I’m not a doctor), and I still can’t figure out why they aren’t signed, something that remains one of the great mysteries of the world! But I’ll tell you one thing, get to know these guys while you can, because real soon they’ll be traveling the world and you’ll need a back stage pass to see them. On top of all of that, they’re down to earth, humble, and will hang out with you before and after they put on one hell of a no holds barred show.
