Whip It (Music From the Motion Picture) (CD)
The official soundtrack for Whip It. The girl-power-meets-punk-rock spirit of the music featured in Whip It plays an integral role in telling the story, from setting the film's rebellious tone to celebrating the characters' wild individuality. The soundtrack's 19 songs reflect the film's outsider ethos with music from underground artists, including Belgian electro-rockers Goose ("Black Gloves"), Mercury Prize nominees The Go! Team ("Doing It Right"), L.A. beat-punks The Ettes ("Crown of Age"), Rolling Stone Artist To Watch Apollo Sunshine ("Breeze"), Swedish singer-songwriter Jens Lekman, and Nebraska indie-pop quintet Tilly and the Wall ("Pot Kettle Black").
Among the collection's more well-known artists are The Ramones ("Sheena is a Punk Rocker"), The Breeders ("Bang On"), Dolly Parton ("Jolene"), The Raveonettes ("Dead Sound"), and .38 Special ("Caught Up in You"). Singer-songwriter Landon Pigg appears in the film and is also featured on the soundtrack, performing "High Times" with the Turbo Fruits.
Whip It is the directorial debut of Drew Barrymore and stars Ellen Page as Bliss, a rebellious Texas teen who throws in her small town beauty pageant crown for the rowdy world of roller derby. Marcia Gay Harden and Juliette Lewis co-star, along with Eve, Jimmy Fallon and Daniel Stern.
