So unfortunately I didn’t get to interview The Wholls on the actual night of Kazoopa (probably because I was too busy fangirling a tiny bit).But luckily enough for me they agreed to do a typed interview, and what an interview it is! Normally I go through and type it all up but I’m gonna leave it in Q&A form and let you feast your eyes on its true glory! Once again I can’t thank these boys enough for taking the time to chat with me and you will most definitely be seeing some more Wholls stuff from us in the future! Because some things ladies & gents are too good to miss.
Q. How did you enjoy your Kazoopa set?
A. “It was top drawer! Our first festival headliner I think so a real honour. Crowd 10/10. Rider 9/10 (bottle of Jack). Food 9/10 (Mac and cheese). We don’t do maths but that’s some numbers right there. After party was a biggun too. Breed, Jordan Allen, Vida, we salute you.”
Q. Will you be joining us at Kazoopa again next year?
A.” Is that an invite?”
Q. Did you go see any of the other acts playing throughout the day?
A. “Managed to catch a couple but we came straight to Leeds from Germany so we missed a good chunk of it unfortunately”
Q. If you did, who did you see and what did you think?
A.”We saw Avalanche Party and Sheafs. Real good rock n roll sets both of em. Twitter was going off all day though, a few bands raised the bar by all accounts”
Q.Highlight of the night?
A.“Not getting in the van to go home and partying till the next day with loads of bands. Loved it. Breed gave me a lift home (150 miles away) and they even dropped off some gear to another band (forget who) in Manchester on the way. Which was completely in the other direction. That’s what I’m talking about. Absolute gents.”
Q. What can we expect from you boys next?
A. “We got a few more shows this year (with Bang Bang Romeo, Paves, Breed, Record Street) then a tour in Europe next February and we just recorded a new video over in Berlin which is something we’re really proud of. Can’t give too much away but it was the hardest thing any of us have ever done. Probably should have died. Can’t wait to see the final edit. That’ll be out after the New Year. Then…. we’ll see. Studio, tours, festivals and motorway service stations.”
Q. Where would you like to see the band go in the future?
A. “Kind of given up guessing to be honest. We got a whole load of new tunes that we wanna record. Happier than ever with our songwriting. Guitar music is coming back and we are happy to ride that, have an adventure along the way and keep playing live. We’ve had a taste of some big stages this year and it tasted good. Like roast dinner good.”
Q. When can we expect new music?
A. “Next year for sure. We’re already dropping a few in our set. Best way to polish em up.”
Q. Thank you so much for taking the time to answer these questions, we will be seeing you very soon for certain! How would you like to sign off this interview?
A. “Check our album out on Spotify, go see a band and remember….”

For those of you who occasionally stalk my Spotify you will know “Capital Eye” are often one of my go to bands. So when the opportunity arose for me to have a sneaky listen to their new single, I jumped at the chance and answered the message in a heartbeat.
