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 1980s 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. Originally released in 2019 on their own Chain Whip Records, it gathers together 14 blasts of irresistible fury in under 20 minutes, with subjects ranging from half-baked cultural commentators to not wanting to live in a fucked-up world. This is hardcore as in "the snottiest rock’n’roll imaginable"; no shitty metal involved.
