This band is a newly formed duo from Inkopolis, with a rapidly growing attention from the Splatlandian youth.[2] It is described as a topical band with pretentious visuals and lyrics that the youth think is somewhat annoying, yet part of their charm.[3]
Even though they haven't been together long, this duo from Greater Inkopolis is already making a big splash. Vocals and synths weave together into a crystal-clear torrent of sound that'll get your blood pumping. The unit's pretentious look sticks out like a sore tentacle in the Splatlands—but young people are eating it up.
H2Whoa started getting attention after a radio station in Splatsville put their music into the daily rotation. It was like an Inkopolitan retort to the wild "Splatlands sound" folks were used to, and young local fans of loud rock woke up and took notice. Maybe what's in and what's out are just two sides of the same coin...

H2Whoa is a portmanteau of H2O, the chemical formula for water, and the exclamation "whoa". In addition, the inclusion of the number 2 might reference the fact that the band has two members.
"Cory" is a given name that is likely also a reference to "coral".
