Bio: Whirlwind Heat is a band whose story you should already know. They are three kids from Grand Rapids, Michigan who happened to catch the eye ... (more) of Jack White six years ago. But there's no point in repeating all this.

The Heat have released 2 Full Length album; Do Rabbits Wonder? (2003, Produced by Jack White) and Types of Wood (2005, Produced by Whirlwind Heat). They have also released one EP called Flamingo Honey (2005, Co-Producers Brendan Benson, Whirlwind Heat). They have released numerous 7" singles and music videos.

Not limited to just writing, producing, and financing their own album, David Swanson (vocals, moog), Steve Damstra II (bass), and Brad Holland (drums) shoot their own videos and short films, create their own artwork, design their own clothing and coloring books, and develop their own website. Add to that Whirlwind Heat's recent tour with Beck, past tours with White Stripes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and The Kills, and their consistent visual contributions from photog-supreme Terry Richardson and it's quite evident that everyone who wrote them off before will slowly have to recant and pay attention.
