Whiffler is a 3 piece made up of Nick Scotese (vocals, rhythm guitar), Cian Liaskos (bass, vocals), and Aidan Forrey (drums). They combine guitar bass vocals and drums to make songs that sound like rock music its super cool and fun.  Theyre like Starsky and Hutch but fuck cops and also there's 3 of them not 2. Theyre like The Beetles and Leed Zeppelin and Metallicas all packed in one tight amalgamation of tomfoolery and shenanigans. Drawing inspiration from Dan Gleesack, Ben Dover, and Joe Mama they produce the sounds of deceptive nomenclature. The drummer can totally play the Purdy shuffle and the lead guitarist abuses the wah pedal just like Kirk Hammet. The keyboardist who hasn't joined yet is gonna sound like Billie Jean and ELTON JOHN. Scoteesee calls back to the vocal brewings of Modest Mouse but I don't think he can even name like 5 songs or have listened to their '97 live at THE HOOP SCOOP recorded on a payphone across the street from THE HOOP SCOOP. TTHE BASSIST SMELLS. Be on the lookout for Whiffler at your local farmstead performing honky tonk hits like Achey Breakey Heart and I Aint As Good as I Was Once Was and Lock Them Doors by Josh Turner.
