Whips plays the Milwaukee Record Stage on Friday, June 9 at 9:15 p.m.
You’d be hard-pressed to find a band in Milwaukee (or Wisconsin, for that matter) more capable of combining crushing, chest-pummeling rock and roll with rousing, radio-ready hooks than Whips.
Since emerging from the ashes of Red Knife Lottery, The Academy Is…, and Father Phoenix and emphatically announcing their presence via 2013’s Year One EP, the quartet quickly garnered well-warranted excitement, which culminated with the release of the band’s debut full-length, Turn It On, at the tail end of 2014.
This April, Whips released its latest and best record to date, The Ride.
