New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Brooklyn, NY (by way of Charleston, SC) indie rockers Whitehall have released their Enci Records label debut, 'Maizy,' produced by
Kevin Ratterman (My Morning Jacket, White Reaper).
'Maizy' was written in about two weeks on a writing trip the band took to the mountains in North Carolina. Stream "Maizy" on DSPs:

The 4-piece will perform songs off the new LP at a record release show this weekend (MAY 6) at NYC's Hudson Studios.
Whitehall has also announced dates for their fall headline tour which runs
September 14-November 19, 2023.
According to the band, "Pull" represents a time when everyday stresses manifested into anxiety-driven dreams with a common theme of being torn between multiple directions. Sonically, the song hopes to achieve a sense of duality and indecision."
Whitehall's ability to combine danceable beats with introspective themes is a testament to their talent and creativity. They have a way of inspiring both the body and the mind, leaving listeners feeling energized and empowered.
Having toured as direct support for
Goo Goo Dolls in 2022, the band has just completed a run with Arlie and The Sewing Club. Watch for more touring in the months ahead.
Whitehall is an indie rock four-piece band from Charleston, SC. Paddy McKiernan (vocals, guitar), Brennan Clark (bass), Davis Rowe (drums), and Avery Greeson (guitar) met while attending the College of Charleston and got their start writing songs in a dorm room. After four years spent in the South Carolina DIY scene playing house shows throughout the state, the band recorded their debut album, 'Ocean Fiction,' and embarked on their first tour on the East Coast with a live show that is at once frenetic and introspective. In the years that followed, Whitehall recorded and released their sophomore effort 'Swordfish Catcher' and received praise and playlist placement from national publications like NPR, Alternative Press, and American Songwriter. This album saw their sound shift from bouncy, melody-laden indie, to something grittier, with distorted guitars and imaginative lyricism that more closely resembles acts like Pavement and Car Seat Headrest.

What others have said about Whitehall:
""Rose" opens with a reverberated guitar and vocals, joined shortly by the rest of the band and offering us a bouncing rhythm that is sure to repel the thoughts of one's impending seasonal depression. It is definitely a song designed for driving with the windows down, so be sure to squeeze it in before winter rips out our souls."- Up To Hear
"Half garage-rock noise, half polished guitar pop...massive riffs and muscular rhythms...raw-but-melodic gems, gleaming with shimmering hooks and big, full-throated choruses."- Charleston City Paper
"There are moments on this album where you'll find yourself nodding in agreement, or cringing in disgust at yourself because of a certain uncomfortable memory that the lyrics bring to mind. These moments are often accompanied by loud, beefy guitar tones and well-timed drum hits that exist to help ease the pain.- Extra Chill
"The 4-piece write on ideas of aging, personal growth and their thoughts and feelings as the group enters their mid-20's. It's a holistic idea of what this band is all about, combined with all the sonic elements that craft their earnest and hearty songs."- Play Too Much
