Hollowick was a rock ensemble originating from Oshawa, Canada, initially performing under the name Rides Again.[1][2] The lineup featured Nathan Peyton as lead vocalist and guitarist, Chad Peyton on bass and backing vocals, Luke LeDoux handling lead guitar duties, and Frank Goerz on drums.
Their first full-length release, Into Existence, came out on 2 October 2007 under the Rides Again moniker. The album’s primary single, "Wonder Why," was produced by Gavin Brown, recognized for his collaborations with Canadian groups such as Billy Talent and Three Days Grace. Follow-up singles "Infected" and "It's Too Late" gained rotation on MuchMoreMusic, with "Infected" breaking into the top 10 of the Canadian modern rock charts. The band supported their releases by touring with acts including Theory of a Deadman, Social Code, The Trews, Hedley, and Yellowcard.
Before releasing Into Existence, Rides Again attracted attention with their pop rock single "Geeze Louise," which found popularity among younger listeners in southern Ontario during their tenure with Vodoo Records. The original drummer, Bradley Christiansen—who is a cousin to Nathan and Chad Peyton—departed early to explore other career paths. By 2007, the band’s music videos were regularly featured on Much Music and Much More Music, enhancing their nationwide visibility.
In mid-2009, drummer Mike McElroy exited the group; Kelly Voelkel stepped in briefly to record drum tracks for Hollowick’s forthcoming album before leaving to pursue professional opportunities. Anthony Moreino served as a temporary replacement until Frank Goerz became the official drummer.
By June 2010, the group had adopted the new name "Hollowick" alongside lineup changes. Their 2011 album Beautiful People included singles such as "Time Bomb" and "There Goes Another One."
Currently, bassist Chad Peyton performs with Canadian country music award recipient Meghan Patrick.
