Manchester s The Whip have been making a name for themselves across the pond with their limb-loosening gigs at festivals and shows all across the UK! Seamlessly meshing an innate indie rock sensibility with modern electro, the band has started the buzz stateside with appearances at SXSW and CMJ and already received accolades from the likes of Pitchfork, BrooklynVegan, Blender.com, Spin.com, Wired.com, NME and many more! Their debut release X Marks Destination is a seamless collage of 80 s. Looped lyrics and hypnotic hooks of lead single Trash lead into the prickly electro-power ballad Save My Soul and Sirens followed by the robot rock of Blackout and the driving moodiness of Frustration , X Marks Destination is a tour de force of the sounds of a band poised for greatness. Round out the set with dance floor detonators Sister Siam and Fire and you ve got a laser-guided missile of an album ready to blow up!
