So, apparently, there’s this guy, Jager Henry, grandson of the legendary John Bonham and son of Jason Bonham. Like we didn’t see this coming, he’s decided to grace the world with his new band, HOLLOW PACT. Yeah, another rock band, just what we needed. I bet they’ll be totally original and not at all like every other band out there. HOLLOW PACT, featuring Henry on vocals (because nepotism), Niño on guitar (who?), Cash Lane on bass (lol, “Cash Lane”) and Michael Rose on drums (generic name alert ). Their debut single, “Heavensent”, is apparently a “blend of hard rock, metal, and industrial.” Groundbreaking stuff, folks. I’m sure it will change the face of music forever.
Jager Henry, bless his heart ❤️, explains: “The music I was making always felt right to me but releasing it under my name never did.” Oh, so now he doesn’t want to ride on his family name? Too late, buddy. 🤣 “It was never supposed to be about who I was,” he says. Sure, Jan. It’s all about the “emotions of the music and the stories in the songs.” Deep. 🤔 Connecting with Niño, Cash, and Michael helped him realize that it made sense to move towards a band dynamic. Because one Bonham wasn’t enough, we needed four randos no one’s ever heard of. 🤷 HOLLOW PACT was born, and the world collectively yawned. 😴
To bless our ears with the new song, HOLLOW PACT has dropped a music video directed by Lost Noise. They’re performing the track in a room. Riveting. 👏 I bet the cinematography is stunning, the acting is Oscar-worthy, and the special effects will blow your mind. NOT! More like a bunch of masked dudes trying to look edgy while lip-syncing to a song no one will remember next week. 🤡
But wait, there’s more! HOLLOW PACT is confirming tour dates for 2025 and beyond. Get ready to throw your money and time to them! Including an appearance at Warped Tour in Orlando, Florida in November. Because nothing screams “rock ‘n’ roll” like playing at a festival that peaked in 2005. This will be the band’s fourth live performance since the name change and the live debut of “Heavensent”. Four gigs, huh? I’m impressed. Very exclusive experience for the true fans. 🙄
Apparently, music medicates even the deepest wounds, and HOLLOW PACT (formerly known as JAGER HENRY) not only wields that power but amplifies it to the breaking point. Someone get me a doctor, I think I’m overdosing on hyperbole. An infectious collision of rock, metal, and alternative? More like an unholy alliance of mediocrity. Jager‘s scream tears straight from the gut? Sounds like indigestion to me. And a melody that feels almost weightless? Probably because it has no substance. 💨
Since re-emerging under their new banner, HOLLOW PACT has carved their name into stages across the U.S. – or, you know, played a few gigs at some dive bars. But even before the change, they played festivals like Aftershock and Louder Than Life. Because every band starts at the top, right? They also shared the bill with acts such as SEVEN HOURS AFTER VIOLET, BLOODYWOOD, STATIC DRESS, BSD, and OCEAN SLEEPER. What are these even? In 2025, they make their long-awaited Warped Orlando debut, marking another milestone in a relentless climb. To obscurity, probably. 🪨
With new music looming on the horizon, HOLLOW PACT stands on the edge of a new era – one forged in catharsis, sharpened by experience, and built to connect with anyone who’s ever carried a scar they couldn’t explain. Or, you know, just another band trying to make it in a saturated market. Let’s see if they can even get past the groupies of another bands to perform on stage. 🎤
Why did Jager decide against using his well-known Bonham last name for his music project? In his own words, “I was always talked about due to my last name, so I thought why not switch it up a little and just basically took my last name and replaced it with my middle name and it had a nice ring to it.” Yeah, because “Henry” is so much more original and memorable than “Bonham.” I’m sure that was the issue. 🙄 The ring of mediocrity, maybe. 💍
