Daily electricity to load your batteries

23 May 2025

Band: WHOLES
Who: A fresh, rowdy hit team led by Belgian, musical chameleon Wolf Vanwymeersch,
who played with several bands (pop, rock, sludge metal) and released a pure singer-songwriter pearl with solo debut album The Early Years back in 2022. Wholes are what remains after a soul has been detonated, what struck those around it, what could no longer be contained.

Track: MODERN DAY DRAMA
New single following their cooking debut Till We Don’t Meet Again.
Both will appear on their upcoming debut album ‘A Mass In The Water
which lands on 14 November.

TUTV: Two singles in, and my ears tell me that Wholes are going places.
Modern Day Drama is their new slam dunk. Its ominous mid-tempo dynamics,
its distorted vocals, and its riff-roasting razzmatazz resonate like if you are
hearing the goosebumps theme song of a horror movie.

Creepy tension in the air, melodrama about to happen. Yes, at the 2.30 minute
mark all hell breaks loose. Decibels up, amps up, temperature up. From a whisper
to a scream. From planet Earth to Dante‘s inferno. Helter skelter.

“Rate disrupting so vile
Raid this life so stale
I can’t be bothered much longer
so I blow a 1000 winds
modern day drama
a gap in your mind
eyes in one line
run and turn the cheek
to the moon

modern day drama
modern day drama
modern day drama
modern day drama
modern day drama
a gap in our mind

things got weird
and before I knew I was swimming
modern day drama
modern day drama”

And LIVE they walk it like they talk it (read: they bellow like they’re in pain) as
I experienced last Thursday when they steamed through a blistering set played in
a small bunker-like club. Remember the Queens Of The Stone Age 2002 album
Songs For The Deaf? Yes, that was the villainous vibe. Say no more.

Modern day loudmouth

Till we meet again

Most stylish setlist ever
