Ahead of the release of their new LP 'Stiff' on 3/25, White Denim have shared blazing album opener "Had 2 Know (Personal)." Frontman James Petralli describes the song as "a reassertion of our initial intent to satisfy our urge to play fast." Stream it now via Brooklyn Vegan (feel free to post): http://bit.ly/1nCQtyo

Produced by Ethan Johns, 'Stiff' is the follow up to the band's 2013 critical and commercial breakthrough 'Corsicana Lemonade.' They just wrapped up a series of small weekly pop-up shows in their hometown of Austin, causing lines around the block every night. They'll be back in town next week for a run of shows at SXSW.
