Raze Regal & White Denim Inc.

Raze Regal (prolific electric guitarist) and James Petralli (founding member and vocalist of Austin, TX indie rock legends White Denim) met during a West Coast tour in 2019, and quickly formed a deep friendship bound by their mutual love of ‘60s and ‘70s rock, the Jazz saxophone innovations and compositions of Eddie Harris, Joe Henderson and Wayne Shorter, ‘80s R&B production techniques and New Wave energy.

The result of their shared recording sessions, ‘Raze Regal & White Denim Inc.’ bursts at the seams with jazz chords, rock hooks, soul vocals, pop melodies, and everything that made the latter half of the 20th century some of the most cardinal music in human history. Completely eschewing the trappings of ‘retro’ or ‘throwback’ sentiments, the record could have only come from artists with such a deep knowledge of popular music, that they are able to transcend references and homages, presenting something comfortably familiar yet totally fresh. Raze and James’s creative union took form before their very eyes, with James at first wanting to take more of a backseat role - but luckily, fate had other plans.
