(MINNEAPOLIS, MN) -- WHY NOT have officially released their self-titled album. It’s the most WHY NOT version of WHY NOT. The 10-tracks, which include the previously released singles “In Love With The Sound", "Take a Minute", and "You're My Kind" was produced by Caleb Hinz (Hippo Campus, Samia, Miloe).
‘WHY NOT’ – composed of Henry Breen, Isaac Dell, and Joshua MacGregor – is the Minneapolis trio’s self-titled mission statement. Fueled by the tension and uncertainty of the time and the changes in the band’s personal lives—from graduating high school and moving out of their childhood homes to growing into and out of long term relationships—and colored by the joy of creating with each other and feeling inspiration in dark times.
WHY NOT pivoted from their math rock and punk-informed roots, incorporating a wider variety of musical influences. The result is a virtuosic, genre-fluid statement from a young band just beginning to harness the heights of their craft.
The album follows the release of the bands EP ‘VERY WHY NOT’. The five track EP is a manic, genre-fluid collection of songs; a pure sonic bombast, driven by spontaneity and teeming with the twin joys of creation and friendship can be streamed here: https://ffm.to/verywhynot
It included the singles “CASKET ft. papa mbye” and “WE CAN BE ALWAYS ft. Lupin”. Lupin is Jake Luppen of the band Hippo Campus. “CASKET” grabbed mentions and adds with best of playlists and round ups at places like Consequence of Sound, Ones To Watch, UPROXX and was also recently featured as song of the day with The Current.
WHY NOT are about to embark on a tour celebrating the release of the album with support from Ultra Q on select dates. Tickets can be found at this link.
"Absolutely! It is a tribute to him but it is not a tribute band," began Bon Scott "79th Birthday Tribute" organizer John Jackson as he discussed this year's event, past history and more. "What we're trying to do is model this off like what the "Experience Hendrix" folks do with their "Red House" tour where they've got several guitar players that come and do various Jimi Hendrix songs but there is not one person who is being Jimi Hendrix. So, last year we had 16, this year we have about a dozen different singers who are all going to do one or two songs; their favorites. So, it's more of a celebration and that's why we do it on his birthday rather than like a tribute gig the way people have come to know them. Hopefully we'll do him justice, it will be hot, it will be loud but it will be fun, I promise."
