Talk about The Bollands…
“I couldn’t imagine a two piece act engulfing a hyper-packed music festival before…until I’ve watched these guys… thank you for a great show!”
— Dennis R. Briones, XTASEA WOODSTOCK MUSIC FESTIVAL, ShenZhen, China
“There were some really spellbinding moments during the gentle ditty that is ‘A Drunk’. A certain observer suggested that it is a new truism in HK’s music scene that whenever The Bollands play, it is good. Well, they certainly did play. And it was good”
– Shashwati Kala THE UNDERGROUND, Hong Kong
