Wattmore
Wattmore are a Brisbane based cowpunk duo … brothers Aiden and Kai Boak. Take a 19 and 20-year-old who cite their main influences as being Oasis, Greenday and Waylon Jennings and you get some idea of how they look at Wattmore musically.
These guys are serious … there is no plan B. An average week for Aiden and Kai is guitar lessons, drum lessons, singing lessons, a day with their songwriting team Aiden, Kai, their mother Kim, and legendary songwriter Allan Caswell and hours of rehearsing and massaging the arrangements of the songs.
As Caswell puts it … “This is exciting. There are no limits, no barriers and no filters. Wattmore sits out there with alt country and Americana but with a real feel for the history of what they’re playing.
Their debut single, ‘Circus Life’ is a subtle reference to the boys’ autism and how it makes them “different”. That’s why I love working with Wattmore” says Caswell “There are no restrictions, toeing the corporate line or worrying about getting on some vapid, highly skewed streaming playlist … it’s all about writing great songs and nailing the performance. We start on the edge of left field and work our way inwards.”
Wattmore are working towards their first album, an eclectic collection of killer songs, embracing classic country, punk, rockabilly and blues and, coming from a trucking family, their own subgenre … truck punk.
