Whirr is an American rock band from the San Francisco Bay Area. The group formed in 2010, originally as Whirl, but had to legally change its name after a woman performing acoustic covers of Black Sabbath songs trademarked the name and threatened a lawsuit.[1] Whirr's shoegaze sound is often compared to My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive.[1][2] Founding guitarist Nick Bassett also played in the band Deafheaven surrounding and including the release of their 2011 album, Roads to Judah.[1][2]
Whirr self-released a demo cassette and the EP Distressor before signing to Tee Pee Records in 2011. The band released June that year, followed by their 2012 debut album Pipe Dreams. The latter was met with a generally positive reception from music critics.[3][4][5] Whirr released an EP titled Around on July 9, 2013 and toured to support it that August with the band Nothing.[6][7] As a result of touring together, members of Nothing and Whirr formed a side project called Death of Lovers.[8] Nick Bassett then joined Nothing on bass and has been touring with them ever since.[9] Bassett also started a new indie pop project with former Whirr vocalist Alexandra Morte called Camera Shy.,[10] while guitarist Joseph Bautista joined Best Coast's live lineup in 2015.[11]
On September 23, 2014, Whirr released their second studio album, Sway, on Graveface.[12]
