Get ready, folks: Taxi Girls are about to drop a bomb with their forthcoming debut album! Static will release in late June on Stomp Records in North America and Wild Honey Records in Europe. It has been nearly three years since this Montreal-based now-foursome released its debut EP. I've been looking forward to a full-length Taxi Girls album for a long time, and I am pleased to tell you that it's everything I was hoping for and then some. Pre-orders for Static are now live, and lead track "Say It!" has premiered as the first single. This tune is an absolute ball of fire — a fierce and furious shot of super-catchy punk rock 'n' roll with a chorus that will have you screaming along at the top of your lungs. The lyrics paint a picture that will be all-too-familiar to so many of you who have given so much of yourself to someone who gives you so little in return:
I give you all of me
'Cause that’s what you need
My hand that feeds
It’s killing me
I give you all of me
'Cause that’s what you need
My hand that feeds
It’s killing me
'Cause that’s what you need
My hand that feeds
It’s killing me
I give you all of me
'Cause that’s what you need
My hand that feeds
It’s killing me
Who's not going to be feeling that? The sentiment is simple yet incredibly relatable. And then that chorus comes along and hits like a ton of bricks. It's not just the words but also the conviction with which they're delivered that makes this song so powerful. The ability to turn personal frustration and hardship into something this thrilling and energizing is a true gift, and these four bad-ass women have blessed us with a bona fide anthem. However loud you've got your volume set at will not be loud enough once you push play on the video! A couple more singles are due before Static releases. In the meantime, you might as well pre-order the record on nifty colored vinyl. This is gonna be a Taxi Girls summer! And by the way: Go Habs Go!
