Fresh from tearing the rafters off every word-of-mouth gig venue known to man and with their debut album ‘X marks destination’, already causing a stir, THE WHIP have been selling out gigs across the nation, with tickets for their hometown show all snapped-up with 7 weeks to spare. We caught up guitarist and vocalist Bruce from Manchester's most exciting electro-indie rock outfit.

Singles
The Shortwave Set: No Social

"No Social certainly appears to be a departure from The Shortwave Set’s 2005 debut The Debt Collection, swapping a spacey Beta Band-esque style for straight up pop sensibilities; while glimpses of the inventiveness of their debut are pushed to the background."

iLiKETRAINS: We Go Hunting

The Long Blondes: Century

i Concur: Lucky Jack/Build Around Me

Her Name Is Calla/Glissando: The Charlotte, Leicester
