White Denim is comprised of three men from Austin, Texas. They have a quite distinct rock sound, which immediately reminded me of The Hives and The Ramones. Their somewhat hard-rock/edgy tone produces some very catchy drum patterns. White Denim tends to jam at the end of their songs, or even in the middle, reminiscent of some of the Rolling Stone’s work. These guys are clearly very influenced by classic rock, and some rifts even sound like they could have been created by Jimi Hendrix himself. Keeping that in mind they’ve adapted well to the sounds of modern rockers, obviously blooming from similar influences with each their own swagger and style.
White Denim has produced two EPs without the help of a label, and a self-released album is due out this June in the US. In the US they have also released one EP under the label aptly named RCRD LBL which is free on the RCRD LBL website.
In Europe they have an LP due out on the 23rd of June under the label Full Time Hobby.
White Denim is definitely a group to look out for. They’ve got the attitude and punch needed to really break out into the mainstream scene.
