Or, The Whale Sets Fall Tour - Releases 'Rusty Gold'
A national tour is on tap for Or, The Whale - and we get 'Rusty Gold' to celebrate.
Or, The Whale was birthed from a Craigslist posting by singer Alex Robins and guitarist Matt Sartain in 2005. The title of the post was something simple – “Wanna Form A Sweet Country Rock Band?” This post found them the third member – and from there they went full speed ahead. Since then, Or, The Whale have played Good Morning America, and gotten attention in Paste, USA Today and Billboard. Or, The Whale is now embarking on a US Tour – and released “Rusty Gold” to celebrate. Not bad for a band that formed part of the group on a site mostly used for “casual encounters.”
