The Whipsaws Cold winter nights and long summer days are not a secret in Alaska, but rather an accepted reality to those who call it home. The Whipsaws are among those residents of the far North who embrace this natural, bipolar cycle. Relentlessly touring for the past five years, they have played smoke-filled saloons and have packed concert halls and theaters, successfully captivating a broad and dedicated fan base with a style that is truly Alaskan. The Whipsaws recorded their critically-acclaimed release 60 Watt Avenue with guest appearance by Tim Easton (New West Records). Mixed by renowned engineer/producer John Agnello (Son Volt, The Hold Steady, Sonic Youth), 60 Watt Avenue brings The Whipsaws to a whole new level with its straight-from-the-gut lyrics, and big, driving sound. The album hit great success at Americana radio early 2008.
