We say

With one of the most accomplished and direct debut singles we’ve heard in a long time, let us introduce you to The Wholls. In an industry where authenticity is king these days, the former schoolmates have been honing their music for three years now, having been quietly supported along the way by BBC Introducing in the regions. A recent gig for NME at The Monarch in Camden was heaving and has led to further live interest for the boys, both here in the UK and internationally. They next play in London at Phonox in Brixton on October 21 and at The Barfly on October 23. With local radio plays building, TV sport syncs in place and a debut album being prepared for release next May, the sound they create has the potential to push them to great heights right across the world. Anthemic, radio-friendly, tightly produced and packing a sucker punch of a chorus, it seems like rumours of the demise of great British guitar music have been greatly exaggerated. You’ve all just been pinning your hopes on the wrong wishy-washy bands. The Wholls prove it’s time to recalibrate.
