Strawberry Whiplash
Glasgow's Strawberry Whiplash!
"Sandra, Laz, Paul and Duncan are Strawberry Whiplash. Based in Glasgow, Scotland where everyone is in a pop band. It's in the blood, it's in the water and it's in the contract."
When I stumbled upon Scotland's Strawberry Whiplash last night I couldn't have been more excited. Much like The Manhattan Love Suicides, whom I posted on last week, Straberry Whiplash has a lot to owe to bands like the Shop Assistants, Talulah Gosh, and The Jesus and Mary Chain. Their distorted haze of guitar, reverbed baby stupid drums, and breathy vocals are music to my ears. I noticed Indiepages had also given a solid nod to them as their Demo Of The Week, and they couldn't be more deserving! Both of these songs come with a huge stamp of approval, I hope you like them as much as I do! They've got no official releases as of yet, but we'll definitely keep you posted.

i'm just curious as to why you reference Talulah Gosh in almost every post? is your frame of reference that small? just wondering...
no, just they mention them in their influences on myspace and so did the manhattan love suicides and it's a band most people would recognize, rather than throwing something out there that someone might not recognize..
and i havent mentioned them that much, actually. only in maybe 3 or 4 posts.
so what's wrong w/ referencing talulah gosh? they were a great band. what if all the people who bought their albums & saw their gigs formed their own bands? that's a lot talulah gosh referencing for you! what a shambolic world !
precisely.
there's absolutely nothing wrong with referencing a great band and i do agree, they were a fantastic band. you kind of missed the point...oh well.
no, i understand what you were saying. just, i use them as a reference often because they represent a pretty particular sound and wider audience would recognize them more over, say, someone like the fat tulips.
