INTHEWHALE
“Dirty, fun, and caked in garage grime, the songs are unconcerned with trends."
-Bob Gendron, Chicago Tribune
INTHEWHALE have been turning heads and accumulating a mass of die hard
fans and followers thanks to an explosive live performance and a small catalogue
of raw, passionate recordings.
Artists and promoters have caught notice, with the band playing Riot Fest,
Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits, and Afro Punk, as well as shows with Jane's
Addiction, Descendents, The Offspring, Gogol Bordello and more.
In 2018 and 2019, the band released “Dopamine” and “Vanishing Point, two EP's
produced by Steve Evetts (The Used, Sepultura, Dillinger Escape Plan) and
recorded at the Foo Fighters' famed Studio 606. Dopamine's first week sales made
it on to the Billboard Heatseekers, Independent Albums and Heatseekers Mountain
(#1) charts, without the support of a label, or mainstream radio play.
2023 was a landmark year for INTHEWHALE, with the October release of
“Chosen At Random,” their first ever full length recording. With esteemed rock
producer Nick Raskulinecz (Code Orange, Halestorm, Mastodon) at the helm, this
recording is the heaviest and most ambitious one yet. And they've parlayed that
landmark year into 2024, starting off ambitious with a tour of the United Kingdom
(their second).
“The fact that there are only two of them means that their sound is inevitably raw
and stripped back. There are definitely callbacks to the 90's grunge sound, and
they remind me of the more unrefined and unfiltered proponents of that particular
movement...”
