The story of 3YH consists of three worlds fused together by what some would call inevitability. Nobody will ever know why things happen the way they do; but 3YH decided not to ask questions and run with what they made.

In 2002, Jose Urquiza (vocals) met Tony Reeves (guitar) while posting fliers in a local music shop. The two musicians, after talking for quite some time, saw potential in each other's creativity and decided to start a band. For about a year, Jose and Tony struggled to find the right combination of band members, and in the end, found themselves with no one to turn to. They had almost lost hope, but their interest in music was too strong to give up.

Approximately 1 year later, in the same music shop that he met Tony, Jose stumbled across a flier, "Singer Wanted". He decided to look the guys up and see what they had to offer. Jose drove to Davenport, Iowa where he met up with Brian Holmlund (bass) and Dan Hillyer (drums). After one practice, jamming out to songs they all knew, they knew they had something. The energy in the room was more than any of them had felt before. The three invited Tony to join them at their next practice, the lineup was set, and the writing began.

Within the next 3 months, 3YH went on a rampage; playing and writing as much as they could. Still unsure of the style or genre they wanted their music to go, they decided to take what they had and hit the studio anyway. After hooking up with local studio engineer, Bill Peiffer of "River City Sound", the group had their first E.P. entitled "Mesh". Within the next year, 3YH would go on to sell 2000 copies of "Mesh" in the Quad Cities alone. The band knew it was time to think on a bigger scale.

After a year of touring in support of their freshman release; the guys began writing new material that would eventually become their second album. 3YH knew they had what it took and perfected what would be their signature sound. In the back of their minds, they knew that they needed one final piece to truly complete the puzzle. During 3YH's first year together, they met a guitarist by the name of Luke Sears. "Luke was always in a competing band. He was always that guy you wished you could steal away. So finally, we decided to go for it. He hadn't seen us live for a while, so we decided to pay his way into one of our shows. He joined 3YH the next day. The rest is history." - Jose

"We're only going to go up from here, how far will depend on us." - Brian

"Present Day" ? "We feel like we?ve come a long way. We?ve perfected our sound, and really honed in on what we want to bring musically to this world. We now believe we?re ready to reach further than ever before with our music. When preparing for our sophomore CD, we wanted to let the world know that weren't the same band as 3 years ago. We went through the difficult task of changing our name after being known as HOLLOW for 3 years. Unfortutely, there was already a signed band named HOLLOW. We saw THREE YEARS HOLLOW as the perfect name for us. It spells out exactly who we are. We've matured with our writing and style and ended up jumping into a different genre; into the heavier side of alternative rock. The title of the new CD has a lot of meaning for us as a band. ?The End of Demise?, to us, denotes the end of loss or failure. It signifies our turning point as a band. We feel like this is it. It?s finally our time." - Jose
