The Whip by The Originals & The Frantics - TT Shakers [TTSHAKE106] FLAC download included with physical items

The Whip

A 2 track instrumental rock single (3m 31s) — released October 15th 2012 on TT Shakers

Two superb but somewhat questionable instros here with more than a hint of good, old-fashioned S&M, as belied by their titles - both rather cheekily named 'The Whip'!

The main man Chuck Rio leads his band The Originals on the A-side, a quintessentially Rio-esque number complete with Latin percussive elements, a goofy but catchy riff (let's face it, yet another interpolation of his 'Tequila'), and vocal / sound effect break-ins, in this case a stunningly effective use of a whip crack and a voice exclaiming simply 'WOW!'

On the other side, the Frantics whip is a decidedly raunchier affair, with dirty guitars and filthy sax coupled with almost continuous and indeed increasingly frenzied whip cracking throughout! I can only presume that the Frantics, a much smaller and less known outfit than Chuck Rio's boys, were patrons of rather less salubrious watering holes!
