Standing in The Way of The Wholls
Standing in The Way of The Wholls
Bedford four-piece, The Wholls bring their
rock ‘n’ roll energy to Heartbreakers, Southampton.
Formed by vocalist/guitarist Tordy
Cocchiarella, guitarist/vocalist Santino Cocchiarella, bassist Joe Stevenson, and drummer Daniel De Feo, the group started at
school, releasing EP Back to the Beehive 2012. With a
sensual fleece over their sleazy rock personas, The Wholls are just full of
surprises.
Vocalist,
Cocchiarella possessed the night with his charisma, aesthetically pleasing
performance and unapologetic ambition. His voice has a bold finish with the
musical rhythms shifting between rock and hip-hop whilst the contemporary, raw
vocals layered over the top add a modern touch.
One
slight disappointment is in the form of their cover of, ‘Standing in The Way of
Control’ by The Gossip. Despite the unnecessary guitar-solo presenting Cocchiarella
as a bit of a show-off, the biggest disappointment was them not rinsing the
inevitable pun and singing, “Standing in the way of The Wholls” (!!!!!!) With a
plethora of puns just waiting to be pulled, The Wholls skimmed over them and
decided to focus entirely on their sexy, rock-star personas. How incredibly
rock ‘n’ Wholl of them. (Sorry).
The
sound they are going for is perhaps the soundtrack to the best fuck you’ve ever
had. But it more resembles the best snog you’ve ever had. There are moments of
sexy rhythms, but the missing puns are enough to turn any girl off. However,
after being dubbed by Radio 1, This Feeling and BBC Introducing as ones to keep
a close eye on, it’s fair to say they are starting to live up to this
expectation. It is the well-executed blends of sounds that give The Wholls
their edge. Their ability to bring a new twist to the basic recipe of guitar
music is welcomed with open arms.
They
know how to put on a show and they are a Wholl lot of fun.
