In The Whale

In The Whale, an alternative rock duo, has cultivated a distinct sound and reputation through extensive touring and notable festival appearances. After the commercial debut of their EP, ‘Cake,’ in 2012, alternative rock duo In The Whale established a significant presence in the music scene. Produced by Tickle Me Pink guitarist Joey Barba, ‘Cake’ led to a supporting slot on The Photo Atlas’ Spring 2012 tour and recognition in KTCL’s ‘Hometown for the Holidays’ contest. Tracks from ‘Cake’ also secured notable licensing placements: ‘Woman’ in a national TV commercial for Victory Motorcycles and ‘Heels’ in the documentary ‘Why We Ride.’ Building momentum, In The Whale released their ‘Nate & Eric’ EP, which reached number 38 on combined college and community radio charts and number 119 on the CMJ Top 200.

‘Dopamine’ quickly charted on Billboard Heatseekers and Independent Albums, achieving the number 1 spot on Heatseekers Mountain. Their rigorous 2018 schedule included opening slots at Punk Rock Bowling and Warped Tour, alongside performances at Bohemian Nights and Westword Music Showcase. Throughout the year, In The Whale toured extensively, sharing stages with diverse acts including Bob Mould, Descendents, Authority Zero, and Papa Roach. In late 2019, In The Whale signed with Riot Records, a sub-label of Golden Robot Records.

This partnership led to strategic single releases, including ‘Drug Dealer’ and ‘Crosses’ in 2020, followed by ‘Jeffrey’ and ‘Smoke Break’ in 2021. The duo continues to showcase their distinctive alternative rock sound, maintaining their formidable presence through consistent new material, chart success, and extensive touring.
