Wild Sweet Orange. It sounds like something you would find growing next to the road as you drive through the Florida country side. But the guys that comprise this band are from Birmingham, Ala., and their sound is a far cry from the campy island tunes that saturate Floridian coastline hotels.
On Tuesday, the soft and insightful indie-rock group released its EP, The Whale. The band is signed to Canvasback Music, the same label that has brought us Manchester Orchestra, Annuals and Swell Season. The band kicked off its tour yesterday.
