About Me

Whale is an instrumental band from Oklahoma City fighting to have our voices heard amongst the drowning howls of the windy plains. We've been playing since 2006. Say what you will about whale, we are still way fucking louder than your band.
We have opened for Lightning Bolt, Jucifer, Big Business, Pearls and Brass, Captured! By Robots, Warhammer 48k, Neptune, Yellow Swans, Zombi, Kill me tomorrow and many many other heroes of ours.
