Southern Resident Killer Whales

Minneapolis-based alternative rock/craft pop quartet Southern Resident Killer Whales  “...makes an indelible mark...balancing quirky humor, clever slice-of-life observations, and raw emotion" (89.3 The Current). 

Musically, the ‘Whales’ catchy yet sophisticated acoustic-driven pop sounds something like a slightly offbeat Glen Hansard meets a slightly upbeat Morrissey, with songs that range from captivating chamber-pop arrangements to driving, harmony-laden indie rock. Lyrically, frontman and songwriter Dan Hylton bares all with a words that alternate between potent advocacy and those with an almost embarrassing level of intimacy; lyrics which Rift Magazine proclaims as “…fresh, smart, yet deeply personal and emotional words capturing life’s significant moments and its lessons taught.”
