The Wholls

Hailing from Bedford in the U.K., the four-piece band the Wholls—pronounced "wolz"—delivers energetic alt-rock infused with playful irreverence in a style echoing Arctic Monkeys and the Kooks. Vocalist/guitarist Tordy Cocchiarella, guitarist/vocalist Santino Cocchiarella, bassist Joe Stevenson, and drummer Daniel De Feo assembled the lineup during their school years. BBC Introducing’s assistance proved valuable in the period building toward the release of their debut LP, The Wholls, which surfaced in 2017. The album contained the singles "X21" and "Going Down," with additional momentum supplied by multiple high-profile festival performances across the U.K.
