White Denim is an acclaimed American rock band hailing from Austin, Texas, known for their eclectic sound that blends elements of dub, psychedelic rock, blues, and punk. Formed in 2006, the band quickly made a name for themselves in the local music scene, recording their early works in a vintage Spartan trailer. Their debut EP, “Let’s Talk About It,” released in 2007, showcased their unique style and garnered attention, leading to a successful tour and the release of their first full-length album, “Workout Holiday,” in 2008.
The band’s innovative approach continued with the release of their sophomore album, “Exposion,” later that same year, which was initially sold as a CD-R during their tour. Their third album, “Fits,” released in 2009, marked their first significant breakthrough in the U.S. market after signing with Downtown Records. This album, packaged with “Exposion” as a bonus disc, solidified their reputation as a formidable force in the rock genre.
In subsequent years, White Denim expanded their lineup and sound, releasing a series of critically acclaimed albums, including “D” in 2011 and “Performance” in 2018. Their dynamic live performances and participation in major festivals like Bonnaroo have further enhanced their visibility and fanbase. The band has also embraced collaboration, as seen in their recent project with Raze Regal, showcasing their versatility and commitment to artistic growth.
With a discography that includes notable releases such as “Side Effects” and the upcoming “12,” White Denim continues to push musical boundaries. Their ability to evolve while maintaining a distinct sound has earned them accolades, including the title of “Best New Band” at the 2008 Austin Music Awards, affirming their status as a leading act in the contemporary rock scene.
