Song of the Day: The Whip – Secret Weapon

The Whip, SXSW, Cedar Courtyard, March 20

Toronto – It’s been three years since English dance rock act The Whip has released any new tracks and let me tell you, this new album has been a long time coming. With standout tracks such as Trash, Sister Siam and my favorite lazer filled instrumental Divebomb, The Whip’s X Marks Destination was one of my go to albums for upbeat dance music back in the day and I’m excited that to hear that their new album, Wired Together is coming out almost one month from now.

Seeing how 3 years in internet time may seem like decades, the band has decided to unleash a five song sampler on soundcloud to remind the people who good their Jagz Kooner produced tracks are. You can sample the tracks here. The opening track, Secret Weapon has a pulsating beat and a new order-esque chorus. It appears that the band has taken some songwriting lessons in the past few years as this track and the ones on the album sound much more polished then the original. I have a feeling this album will be pretty dope. Check it out.
