Brooklyn-based outfit Whitehall are back with their latest single, âMalibu #2â, a charged-up indie rock jam that perfectly captures the restless spirit of life on the road.
Known for their dynamic alternative sound, sharp lyricism, and infectious melodies, the bandâPaddy McKiernan (vocals, guitar), Avery Greeson (guitar), Brennan Clark (bass), and Davis Rowe (drums)âcontinue to evolve while staying true to their roots.
Written during their time touring the West Coast, âMalibu #2â blends sun-soaked riffs, driving rhythms, and a rebellious chant: âI never want to play in Malibu again!â The track delivers a wry, self-aware take on the highs and lows of a transient lifestyle, building to a cathartic release of distorted guitars and raw emotion.
“It’s about touring and a life of travel, but using it as an escape from my problems,â Brennan explains. âYou get out, but your issues are still there. When you come home, everyone has gotten better as people, but you’re still emotionally stunted. So, you end up frustrated. It has the right energy to introduce this chapter.â
The single offers a first taste of Whitehallâs upcoming album, set to arrive later this year. Following millions of streams, praise from NPR, Alternative Press, and American Songwriter, and tours alongside Goo Goo Dolls, Arlie, and Carver Commodore, Whitehall is gearing up for their next chapterâone that promises even more evolution, energy, and introspection.
Stream âMalibu #2â now and stay tuned for more news on Whitehallâs forthcoming album.
