Without a doubt, one of the most beautiful and inspiring 40 minutes of my past year was seeing Black Whales this past weekend at ReverbFest. Jesus!

I’ve heard a lot of comparisons to a lot of other groups I admire, sometimes accurate, sometimes not. Whatever you’re into, I think there’s something in this band for you. The vocals and drums are superior and immense with choppy, Stones style guitars.

You like The Kinks? Yes, you’ll like Black Whales. It’s like seeing The Kinks or The Who or even Radiohead work through their early pop sensibilities to figure out where they’re going.

I’m sold on these guys and hope to be there when they become to big for this city.

Wonderful interview. I could go on and on…

What delicious praise for four of the most delightful men I’ve ever known! Having been a long time fan of their collective works, I’m proud and excited to see them moving in this direction. It is, indeed, the kind of music that gets under your skin and glued to your brain. xo.

I’ve heard a lot of people say that this band reminds them of “Velvet Underground”. Others have suggested “Cave Singers” or “The Kinks”.

I can tell the difference between mayonnaise and Miracle Whip, but musical comparisons make me feel tone-deaf.

All I can say for sure is that “Black Whales” carve their songs into my dreams and I wake up with their music on my brain.

I like!

This band is a panty-creaming good time. They are bananas good! Don’t miss them if you get the chance.
