Whip - S/T EP (Neck Chop Records) 7" EP
Winnipeg’s Whip is one of those bands that have the feel of classic hardcore, but ultimately just embody a firmly aggressive interpretation of punk’s initial modus operandi. The kind of stuff we can simply call punk, no qualifiers or diluted adjectives required. Nonetheless, there’s more than just raw intent to these precise, well-crafted maulings. Whip exhibits the same carefree, unbridled belligerence as earliest Red Kross stuff, but if we’re to analogize with female-fronted groups of yesteryear they seem more in the spirit of an abrasiveness-added Kleenex with their blunt artiness, than California counterparts like SIN 34.
