Today is a date I've had circled on my calendar for months: debut single release day from heavily-anticipated Montreal punk sensations Taxi Girls. Jamie, Vera, and Lynn have taken Montreal by storm in recent months. Today, they emphatically introduce themselves to the whole wide world. Spoiler alert: you're gonna love 'em! Clocking in at less than a minute and a half, debut single/video "Sunshine" is a leave-them-wanting-more type tune by design. And indeed, this song will have you begging and pleading for additional tracks from Taxi Girls. Luckily, this song is part of a full EP titled Coming Up Roses that will be releasing in July. For now, you can just keep hitting that repeat button and take pleasure in what is a truly perfect summertime punk-pop song. If you like super high energy punk rock and roll with irresistible hooks, "Sunshine" is sure to be your jam. The track sounds great too, with guitars blasting at full force and my favorite rhythm section on the planet turning in a truly crackling performance. Jamie plays the coolest Mike Dirnt style bass line of recent memory, and Lynn literally crushes her drums. What an incredibly catchy song — and the band's exuberance is totally infectious! Having written this song in the midst of a brutal Canadian winter, Vera was able to imbue this upbeat number with a healthy dose of aggression and frustration. Wanna fall in love with punk rock music all over again? Just push play.
