Tailspin

Hey there, Zoo Freaks, meandering through the cosmic groves at THE ZOO, where the vibes resonate like echoes from ancient canyons. We're cranking up "Tailspin" by those resilient rockers Whiskey Myers from their electrifying album Whomp Whack Thunder. Man, this number spirals you into a whirlwind of gritty energy, Cody Cannon's raw howl cutting through like a hawk's cry, with riffs thundering like a storm brewing over the Texas plains, capturing that freefall into life's wild turns that shakes your soul awake.

Imagine this, serene travelers: in a deep-dive chat with Rolling Stone back in September 2025, the band spilled about hitting the studio with producer Jay Joyce for Whomp Whack Thunder, their first in three years, aiming for that supercharged punch.
