Issue One - The Weekend Riot

Inspired by the works of The 1975, The Strokes, Hellogoodbye and and even Taylor Swift, Work is a
project that digs into the muddled, murky parts of everyday life and asks “What am I missing here? What
should I be thankful for? What should I be longing for?” The dream for Whosah as expressed by Erdahl
is that the listeners will find the same joy that Whosah has found in savoring that process of discovering
themselves – “We’re obsessed with the connection music creates between people. Art is intimate and
personal, but reveals how similar our experiences are, how much we need each other.” It’s easy to catch
the phrase ‘Making friends and making music’ if you were to search up Whosah online (and you should)
and it’s become a motto of theirs. The truth is, they’re not wrong.
When asked how Whosah defines success in their own terms, it was all about connection and being
able to encourage one person to pursue a life that is meaningful and intentional – “Even if it’s just one
person each show, we’re succeeding.” It’s brings a new, interesting perspective to the origin of their band
name: “We’re all about connecting with people through music, and having a weird word like “Whosah”
for a name gets people to come talk to us and start a friendship. Really the name is just a trick; a trick to
make friends.”
