INTHEWHALE

INTHEWHALE is a Denver-based rock duo known for their raw, high-octane sound that blends punk energy with sludgy riffs. Formed in 2011 by guitarist/vocalist Nate Valdez and drummer Eric Riley, the pair built a reputation for delivering chaotic, sweat-drenched live shows that feel like a mosh pit in audio form. Their music—a mix of grunge, noise rock, and stoner metal—often tackles themes of frustration and societal absurdity, with recent tracks like "Neon Christ" and "Waves" showcasing their signature blend of aggression and hooks. They’ve toured with heavyweights like The Melvins and Helmet, and their DIY ethos shines through releases like 2020’s "Quarantine Sessions," proving they thrive even when the world slows down. Whether on record or stage, INTHEWHALE remains unapologetically loud and relentlessly alive.
