X Marks Destination

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, their debut release X Marks Destination is a seamless collage of the 80s. The looped lyrics and hypnotic hooks of lead single "Trash" lead into the prickly electro-power ballad "Save My Soul" 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!
