Genre: Psychedlic rock, Southern rock, garage rock
About:
With their denim jackets, mismatching headgear and facial hair, Texan rockers White Denim look like they’ve just rocked up to a 1975 episode of The Old Grey Whistle Test, and at times sound like it as well. Their sensibility seems to hail from a pre-punk era where musicianship is king, and their noodling workouts are met with regular audience yells of “Ow!” The difference is that they play with the fire of a garage-rock band, and seemingly disparate elements of 1960s pop and 70s rock are hurled together with the visible glee that has sustained them for a decade.
Chugging grooves nestle alongside psychedelic folk and walls of guitar dissonance. They don’t have the postmodern sheen and chart-hugging nous of the Black Keys, which is presumably why they’re selling out small venues rather than big ones, but they are rawer and more earthy. – The Guardian
