For a band whose name comes from an
odd family heirloom, and whose sound can only be described as genuinely
unabashed dance floor rock, Whale Tooth defy nostalgia yet
simultaneously remind listeners of another era in music. A time when
instantly familiar guitar riffs and boy-girl vocal hooks brought the
kids out on the floor without hesitation.
Formed through mutual friends and a
mutual conviction that indie music ought to get ones' blood running
fast, since 2008 Whale Tooth have already played over 150 + shows
including gigs at NXNE and Steam Whistle's Unsigned Music showcase. The
only thing that could make them more endearing at this point would be
having their first single "Hibernation Song" featured on the beloved
television drama, Degrassi - The Next Generation...which is good news,
since they've done that too.
Front-woman Elise LeGrow has found the
secret to infusing her classic jazz background into traditional
indie-rock. Her powerful, effortless vocals coupled with Norm Maschke
and Alex Denike's guitar and back-up vox "will ignite the fire in your
soul, and make you 'twist and shout' over and over again" (Earshot).

Coming off their successful 5-song EP
which saw them play with the likes of Tokyo Police Club, Mother Mother,
Hey Ocean and a stop at the Rifflandia Festival – Whale Tooth is
currently in the studio working on their first full-length album with
Darryl Neudorf.
A lot has happened in a short period
of time for a band whose been busy converting jaded indie fans into
ardent believers with NOW Magazine proclaiming that "any new wave
references are more Elvis Costello than New Order. [Whale Tooth] excels
at bouncy, major-key guitar pop crammed with hooks and just enough soul
to stand out.
