New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Driven by critically fierce, extreme energy, In The Whale administers a heavy dose of Dopamine into the veins of the punk and rock scenes. This six song EP is available to download and stream on digital music platforms.
"Dopamine is our most raw, desperate, and energetic EP to date. We worked very hard at capturing the intensity of our live show though the recording and we think this is the closest we've ever come," said drummer Eric Riley. "We feel that Dopamine is a huge step forward for the band and we hope our fans come along with us."
The EP adds fiery aggression to their grunge rock sound thanks to producer, engineer, and mixer Steve Evetts, whose work expertise spans from
The Dillinger Escape Plan to
Every Time I Die to Glassjaw. "Steve was adamant about capturing In The Whale's live sound and energy. That produced a recording that is like nothing we've done in the past," says singer and guitarist Nate Valdez. The band recorded Dopamine at the Foo Fighters' famous Studio 606, and it was performed almost entirely live to two-inch tape. "Recording at Studio 606 and working with Steve Evetts honestly felt like a dream come true," said Riley. "The studio is a rock musician's playground with anything and everything we could possibly want. We are very excited to share this with our fans."
Celebrating their seven-year anniversary in 2018, the Denver natives continue to turn heads, melt faces, and build a die-hard fandom thanks to their relentless tour schedule and high intensity live performance. Catching the eye of promoters, they've played festivals like Riot Fest, Lollapalooza, Warped Tour, Austin City Limits, and Afropunk. In The Whale has also shared the stage with acts such as Jane's Addiction, The Descendents, The
Offspring and more.
In The Whale began their summer tour supporting long-standing punk rock band The
Descendents in early June, before kicking off their headlining tour in early July. Stream or download Dopamine on available digital music platforms. Keep up with In The Whale's tour adventures at InTheWhaleSucks.com.
