Chain Whip 14 Lashes
Hailing from the Canadian city of Vancouver and comprising members of Fashionism, Corner Boys and more, Chain Whip don't so much sound 'in thrall' to the sounds of 1980's hardcore punk as 'completely inhabited by the spirit' of it, in the best way possible. They snarl, they holler, they roar and by gosh every single cut on debut album '14 Lashes' is a thrill ride and a half.
