The Darren Holland Project new single Featuring JenCat ..... "Planet Pain"

Who is the DHP?  Well, here is what Darren Holland has to say.

The DHP is a husband and wife duo from Kansas City, Missouri.

 I'll tell you that we are a team, but I am the writer. My wife Cheryl gets the pleasure of being woken up at 2 am because I feel I have come up with something cool, and she listens. Cheryl is the one I trust to put her voice, her style, musicianship, and her mark into the sound that we call the DHP.

On all platforms, the song  Planet Pain will be released on January 1st, 2023. Planet Pain is about the struggle of mental health, addiction, and going through this world without falling apart. We are sending the radio edit version. It features the powerful vocals of JenCat, and she has a mean growl for sure!

 Oh, and lyrically I write about life, the good, the bad, and the ugly. I write the story of everyone I know, everyone I meet, and some I miss. I write about the sex, the drugs, and the mental issues we all have at times. So my stories can be viewed differently by each person who listens and whom it touches.

Band Line Up:
Darren Holland: Guitar, Bass, Keys, Ukulele, and Vocals.
 Cheryl Holland: Keys, Harmonica, Drums and Percussion, and Vocals.
JetCat-Planet Pain
Andy Oxman: Producer and Mitch Critchon (Planet Pain)

The review... "Planet Pain"

Planet Pain starts out with a guitar  that sound as if they were soaring all around you. next  the drums and bass comes in  with this pounding jaw dropping intro. Then JenCat comes in to sing.."Welcome Here To Planet Pain.. Hope I never come again!" as if the listener just arrived to that destination with regrets that they are there. The break is really amazing walls of guitars, bass and drums while JenCat sings. The sound of this band is just out of this world.

Later in the lyrics JenCat sings "Some Things Never Change." and he is so right with all that is going on in this world today. The track ends as it began with a soaring guitar that fades.

In conclusion, This band has a unique sound. A sound that draws you into the lyrics that is telling a story that perhaps everyone can relate to at least once in their life. The Darren Holland Project makes tracks about real world events from all walks of life. The ups and the downs of life. This is a band that I relate to and I hope you readers will give this track a listen you might find that some of JenCat's lyrics just might hit home with you too.

Darren Holland Project's New Single ..."Hey" Coming Soon!!

WHO IS THE DHP?

The DHP hail from Grain Valley, MO, and consists of Darren Holland and Cheryl Holland, a husband and wife duo with Andy Oxman of Soundworks Recording studies as producer. Their music is an orgasmic pop sound. Each track will transcend you to a world of musical bliss and keep your feet tapping.

Darren lyrically writes about life, the good, the bad, and the ugly. He writes the story of everyone he knows and everyone he meets, and people that are gone in his life. Darren writes about t sex,  drugs, and the mental issues we all have at times. So his stories can be viewed differently by each person who listens and whom it touches.

Darren is the dark, while Cheryl is the light.
Cheryl sings and plays percussion, flute, and drums on some tracks. Her bold singing and attitude give The Darren Holland Project a different feel and give the songs the punch they need.

The single "Hey" will be released on September 1st, 2022. The song Hey is for a girl who made a choice, and I stood by her. It was her body, not her crime!

THE REVIEW..."HEY"

This track starts out with pounding drums that immediately gets you heart pumping and your head bobbin. Accompanied with the drum is bright sounding guitars picking out the melody to lead into the vocal's singing, "Hey, What can I say.." Transitioning into the chorus stating what the individual of this track is going though with their struggle. This is a track about really being a friend and standing up for a friend or loved one, and helping them get through their trying times. I really enjoyed the melody of this track with the guitars and vocals mixing together that give you an alternative rock feel. The drums well played, pound all through the track, truly outstanding!

In conclusion, I really loved the message of this track. A message of standing by a friend or a loved one in their time of need. A track about being someones rock, and literally helping someone through their pain. With the Darren Holland Project's message along with their totally heart pumping track mixed with the lead vocals, along side the beautifully sung background singer singing in unison, while the guitar's play roaring chords, gives you a feeling that every now and then we make choices that not all agree with, but when you think you are all alone, there is sometimes someone willing to reach out their hand, and stand by you against all odds.
