NEW MUSIC: WHY NOT | YOU'RE MY KIND

Genre-bending indie rock band Why Not is releasing the final single from their upcoming self-titled album which will be released next Friday, May 13, 2022. It's the full-length follow-up to their "Very Why Not" EP released in February and was produced by Caleb Hinz (Hippo Campus, Samia, Miloe). Why Not is composed by Henry Breen, Isaac Dell, and Joshua MacGregor - is the Minneapolis trio's self-titled mission statement. They are fueled by the tension and uncertainty of the time and the changes in the band's lives- from graduating high school and moving out of their childhood homes to growing into and out of long-term relationships- and coloured by the joy of creating with each other and feeling inspiration in dark times. The band previously released the singles and music videos for "In Love With The Sounds" and "Take A Minute." WHY NOT pivoted from their math rock and punk-informed roots, incorporating various 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 band's EP "Very Why Not." The five-track EP is a manic, genre-fluid collection of songs, pure sonic bombast, driven by spontaneity and teeming with the twin joys of creation and friendship. 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 the best of playlists and round-ups at places like Consequence of Sound, Ones To Watch, and UPROXX plus was also recently featured as song of the day with The Current.
