Artist description
Drums, bass, 2 guitars one singer. Loud and energetic
Whoremoan create a sound so loud and heavy it'll make your teeth hurt. Powerfull bass &
drums pound a groove that hooks you instantly, leaving plenty of room for the guitars to follow or
wander as they wish, creating a dynamic experience that launches you of the planet. With screaming
lyrics thrown on top in huge lumps, the vocals are not so much a lead, as another instrument to add
volume and power, and instrumental fills that take the songs into a new space before being launched
back at you even more violently than before |

Artist History
All of Whoremoan have lived on Canvey Island for all of there lives.
Canvey Island was once a great place for fresh produce, you can see
some here that I picked from my garden. The first meeting between any of
the band members was Simon and Jon, this was due to the fact that they
were born into the same family unit, the carbon based units calling
themselves Foote. Unlike normal brothers these strange Neanderthal
beings actually liked each other, they 'get on'. Another cosmic placement
was the fact that living next door to the Foote house, is the
house where Mark lived. Strangly enough, as soon as Mark was let out of
the house for the first time and went to Cub Scouts , the meeting took
place with the fourth member Tim. It was an unlikely meeting and some
conflict was involved due to the fact that one was a yellow and the other a
red woggle wearer. Years these people lived within spitting distance of
each other without a note passing between them.
The second meeting came when Tim and Mark met again at Secondary
school and were in the same class, within the first week they wanted to
fight. Over the years at school they became more friendly mostly through
the medium of Heavy metal. After Tims appreciation of Metallica and one
mister Cliff Burton a gift of a Bass was given to him for a birthday present.
The first time members of the mighty Whoremoan played together was
once one weekend when a friend Richard's Parents were away for the
weekend. Richard had just aquired a ramshackle drumkit and was itching
to show us what he had learnt. Another member of the group of people in
the room (you could not call it a band!) was Mark, who was ripping it up on
the guitar through his 'Kay Sound' amplifier. Mark from the current
,whoremoan was on the other guitar and Tim was on the Bass. We
attempted a rendition of 'For Whom the Bell Tolls' by Metallica and then
the people decided it would in the best interests of the population of the
world not to form a band. There was slight swing of some of the people
around that Saturaday afternoon to jump around in T-Shirts with Inverted
crosses penned on the them. The T-Shirts also beared the name
'Excretment'. A charming name. Maybe the video made will be viewed
again one day. This fustration(!) insighted a Band to be formed between
Tim, Mark and another school friend called Nick. This was the band with
no name who played such greats as Teen Spirit(Nearly) and Purple
Haze(Sorta roughly). By this time Mark had switched to Bass and Tim to
Guitar, which I think you can blame Jimi Hendrix and the Wah Wah pedal
for. Another great rendition was Fools Gold by the Stone Roses.
Amplification was quiet and the vocals were shouted as loud as possible.
This made room for some great drum fills by Nick. The band split shortly
afterwards.
(Mark)
Just before the split of the above mentioned three another band was
being cobbled together in the house next door. The two foote bros. and a
friend Alex Scott (on Bass) chugged out those Heavy Metal riffs Via the
media of Marlin guitars and Sound City Amps |

Press Reviews
Bass, raging drums and a screaming frontman
launched Whoremoan on us. A couple of tracks and
the assembled were hooked and being reeled in. A
distorted bass started my favourite |
