New Hole In Her Head Back to artists page



New Hole In Her Head are a unit of four parts, producing epic, emotionally charged, densely layered neo-rock. Based in their imaginations, contained in their heads. Drawing on many influences to create their unique sound, blending the driving arid groove of Kyuss's guitar sound with the epic and progressive dynamics of Tool, Quicksand's off kilter defiance and The Cure and Depeche Mode's damaged but uplifting synthphonic melody. Amusingly the band keep being asked if they got the name from a porn movie, but alas it is not so, and no, they are not named after Prince's song 'Another New Hole In Her Head' either (not that it would be uncool if they were). The name is actually derived from a passage out of William Gibson's cyberpunk novel Count Zero, (page 54 paragraph 3 line 3). Accusations of it being misogynistic are hastily dismissed by the band as it is actually intended - albeit sardonically - to convey an expansion in awareness, or a metaphor for something of such repetitive concern that it feels like it's burning a hole in your mind - like a good song. Their aim is to provide fuel for the listeners mind hoping that the music will provoke and stimulate both physically & intellectually, but as long as the music takes you somewhere they are happy to provide the soundtrack for the journey.
