White Denim

White Denim is an Austin, Texas based trio that dabbles in just about every genre of music. This includes alt rock, post punk, garage rock, indie rock, psych-rock, blues, and even a little country. They use sophisticated song structure and exotic looping techniques to complete their ever-changing, completely unique sound. The band got its start playing in a trailer that belonged to the drummer Joshua Block. The group is rounded off by vocalist and bass player Steve Terebecki and vocalist and guitar player James Petralli. The band has released three EP records since 2007 and two LP records that were received with little valor from critics. However, earlier this year they released their third LP Fits (out only in the UK at the moment) which has been received to rave reviews from many outlets including me. The album is one of the best of 2009 in a completely stacked year. The fellows of White Denim admit they are not fans of the CD format so look for their stuff digitally and on vinyl.
