Hole Tripper Biography
Hole Tripper has evolved from two cupboard-dwelling brothers into a full-on four‐piece English rock band. They have added the fire power of a top-notch bass player and hardcore drummer to go gig like mad men.
The band are from the South West and the first album was recorded in two separate studios; a hundred miles apart with the band never playing a note together in the same place. The band’s debut album was named Hundred Miles Out of Time as a nod to the geographical separation when recording the album, that some of the songs were written way back, and, as a reference to the singer’s comical timing challenges when trying to sing and play the guitar at the same time.
The brothers spent a couple of decades in the real world doing normal things, but bad things happen, and they were thankfully shunted out of the comfortable hole they were dwelling in. Now with the taste of musical blood in their mouths they are embarking on a quest to make a lot of music. One of the benefits of being a hole-dweller and waiting so long to produce any music is that they have tons of songs already in the can of all different flavours.
Hole Tripper is a remote band, ludicrously out of their own time zone, laughing at life and making music. The band is influenced by early 90s alt rock and whilst they would love to discover time travel if you’re not going forwards, you’re going backwards. The music sticks to its roots but also wants to push forward the genre; one riff at a time …. making gloriously unfashionable rock music for the chosen few.
