The Whip just released this month their debut full-length ‘X MARKS DESTINATION’, an incredible mélange of beats and melodies. The Whip craft songs with shimmering synths, clanging chords and lingering melancholy, but are also ready and willing to tackle prickly power ballads as well as the dance floor detonators – they definitely aren’t a rock band that just discovered synths last year.
