Boys of The Hole talk Drag Wedding aesthetics, phlegmy screaming & . . . crisps 💟

💖 What’s Boys of the Hole about?/ Where did the name come from/How did you set up?

We were drunk at a street party & talked about starting a band & then we got together & fucked about.

At first it was just screaming & clunking instruments, but we’ve developed a sound & vibe that is vaguely better than we first intended.

In terms of our name – Rosie M’s teenage brother was originally our drummer & called us it on a group chat. We didn’t know why or what it meant but want to be down with the kids.

💖 What inspires you to play music?

Fun! Fun is radical.

We have a blast rehearsing & coming up with ideas together. Like with a couple of songs we all chip in with the lyrics & it’s a right giggle.

That’s really what has started us off. Having a laugh & writing songs about ridiculous things – although we are also Emotional Queers™ & sometimes the songs are about feelings.

The music itself is also good. 

💖 Who are your main influences in music/life?

Netty, the 80 year old ex opera singer who Rosie M & Izzy made a film about . . . She hated it.

💖 Tell us about your aesthetic

Drag wedding gone wrong. 

💖 When you’re not doing band stuff what do you get up to?

Sloshing about in our holes waiting for the glorious first light of the revolution.

💖 You say you’re a new post grunge outfit, but if that outfit were made of clothes what would it look like & which gossip level celebrity would wear it on the runway?

We are made of manic asos orders worn by the lizard queen.

💖 If grunge really were post what would it cost to mail it? & who would be your preferred service provider?

Sian is a postman & says it would cost 70p by Royal Mail standard, but that special delivery is worth it if you really care about actually receiving the grunge. (KNM edit: we do . . . )

💖 Tell us about your affiliation with the following:

Boys in the hood: Not so much

Hole: Excellent band

2001s thriller hit ‘the hole’: Everything. We’d eat you first. 

💖 What does feminism mean to you?

All kinds of holes for everyone whenever, or nowhere for no-one, whatever you want. We also gots to fight terfs & swerfs*

*Terfs are Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist’s who say they’re feminists but are against/exclude trans people. Swerfs are Sex worker exclusionary radical feminist’s who say they’re feminists but are against sex work & exclude sex worker’s from stuff. 

💖 Tell us about your next release what’s the feeling to it/what’s it about?

We released our first EP 31st of Jan, recorded by Marcelo at Rachmuth Recordings!!

Subjects range from oversharing about messy sexual experiences, shitty tinder dates & toxic relationships, but also crisp flavours.

There’s a lot of phlegmy screaming.

💖 When’s your next shooooooow?

We are playing valentines day for you babes! Romantic. 💞
