A new crop of young, independent bands are re-invigorating a punk rock staple: melodic hardcore. Pay attention, this is Jacksonville, Florida's WHALEFACE. Steeped in the traditions of 90's rockers Pulley, local heroes Inspection 12, and more recent stalwarts Rise Against, the band, comprised of four long time friends are here to rock some tasty riffs-and chill bones.
When other bands slag around the scene for years, half-heartedly spouting about contracts, management deals, and not getting anything done; the guys of WHALEFACE played countless shows, self-financed/pressed a well received CD/EP in their first year, and had fun doing it. Because, isn't that the point? The band concern themselves with playing music that THEY want to hear; do you think great art is created with a consumer in mind? And what, you ask, do they want to hear? Energy! Melody! Tempo! Ah, the holy trinity of good, catchy punk rock. It's served up in heaps on stand-out tracks "That's The Point," "To My Defense," and "Release." Layered vocal harmonies, inventive break-downs, and one helluva live show set WHALEFACE apart from the vast majority of bands mining similar territories.
Their first full length is in the works and the road won't be far behind. Enjoy Whaleface! Please to thank you!
it was great seeing you guys, finally. when can i snag you for an interview? if you fellas come down on a wednesday evening, you can be on the show live (from 7-9:30 pm) and afterwards we can record an interview for a podcast. or we can work out another day of the week, if it would be better.
SO I convinced my manager to give me Thurs night off so I can come see you guys rock for a bit of nostalgia and more... Visited the Transitions web site and you guys are not listed on the bill. Just wanted to make sure you are def playing and curious if you knew in what order as it's an early show and I can't get there til 7ish and would be pissed if I missed you... Let a gal know, por favor!
hey performers! here are some estimated time for 40 min sets and of course we'll leave time in between for setup. hope this is ok! let me know if there are any questions or complaints. come early or just come on time for your set..i would love to see all of u enjoy the show. cant wait!
