The group consists of Sune Rose Wagner (bass) and Sharin Foo (vocals and guitar).
Here the limitation reaches its highest peak: not only are the two Finns devoid of a flesh-and-blood drummer, not only do they dress exclusively in black (yes, just like the Black Rebel), not only do they consider themselves lover-siblings (yes, just like the White siblings) but even "Whip It On," this is the title of their debut album, is played entirely in B-flat minor and the songs all last less than 2 minutes and 40 seconds.
That's right, from the first track to the last, it almost always sounds like the same song.
However, it must be acknowledged that Whip It On is, despite all these strange characteristics, one of the freshest and most enjoyable rock albums of last season, successfully combining the distorted energy of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club with songs from a Tarantino-esque gangster movie.
The track that opens the album, Attack Of The Ghost Rider, is the one that best explains the sound of the Nordic duo and is certainly the most successful piece of the work alongside the closing track Beat City; it opens with a drum machine that always plays a constant and driving rhythm ready to embrace a slick guitar riff and a semi-apocalyptic lyric "Lipstick on my face, thunder in the sky / Attack of the ghost riders..."
Most likely, this album is one of the few examples where the rather unpleasant trait that "all the songs sound alike" does not detract from the final result at all. Eight songs with no great pretensions that flow pleasantly, offering us interesting sounds.
One thing is certain: for this time, it's fine, but the next album must absolutely avoid falling into the trap of being once again, as the heading on the cover says, "recorded in glorious Bb minor."
