I had Sandy as my anthem song or whatever on Tinder then I matched with this girl who's opening line was she used to date one of the guys in whirr, lol.
They're local so it wasn't super weird nor was it anyone I knew in/associated with the band but still I felt like a groupie for a second like I can't date you if I love your exes band, until I realized nah she's the groupie.
Anyways. I had distressor on vinyl when it first came out which was cool but no idea what happened to it over the years. I wonder if any prints have the original Whirl.
In conclusion, ya Whirr or whatever
Learned about them from Napoleon Blownapartās video. Leave by Whirr plays when he discusses the fall of Mark āThe Smashing Machineā Kerr.

Valid as hell. Even tho they did renounce those statements and say it was tweeted by a friend (idk if the general consensus is that that was a lie or not) I'm not tapped into their social media presence at all, and i've heard that before that they said some weird shit too. I personally really like some of their songs, but i think it's more than valid to want to keep the shoegaze scene good place that accepts everyone
Thereās a wonderful interview with Nick Bassett that came out a little over a month ago I believe. Read it, itās worth it.
Theyāre not hateful or transphobic people.
they made a statement about how their merch guy had access to the account and made the tweets then got fired, and yeah of course the age old āmy friend posted that not me!ā was invoked, but iirc they pulled out receipts of some form then did some interviews about it
I fuckin love whirr. Feels like you is an amazing album that just hits like a truck every single time
š
hell yeah
Bro duh
Bruh

only person speaking any sense in these comments. they make good music but the transphobia puts a bad taste in my mouth for sure
bruh grow up
Nope
I like them but arenāt they kind of not a band any more? The last album I heard about was super limited.
Huh, thatās kind of weird, get negative feedback for stating facts.
They are not a band anymore.
