Product Description Innovative, evocative bass and drums instrumentals. Holly Rushakoff (bass) and Jane Boxall (drums) create mosaic-like miniatures from an eclectic mixture of dynamics, techniques, moods and colors. The album's tightly structured songs combine the behemoth and the beautiful, the heartfelt and the furious. Review "Rhythm section on the run! Local heroines Triple Whip (once a trio but now simply bassist Holly Rushakoff and drummer Jane Boxall) throw down short, sharp, schizophrenic instrumental epiphanies. Hydra-headed basslines twisted together with swear-worthy drum pattems, all in creating a heaviosity and gravity that usually requires layers and layers of seismic guitars. Less cinematic than previous efforts but more organic and visceral, there's obviously a sixth sense at work here." --www.parasol.com"This is one hell of a great unique and original rock album that redefines instrumental music for the thinkers and listeners alike." --www.openingbands.com

beyond the boundaries of rock
Triple WhipHorsepowerA two-woman band comprising Holly Rushakoff (bass) and Jane Boxall (drums),Triple Whip specialise in a unique kind of musically-schizophrenic auralassault. They lull you into submission with a gently jazzy bassline and thenforce you to sit up straight with a short, sharp shock of sound. Trackswhich are proudly ska and punk-flavoured - reminiscent of Green Day orDistillers contrast with moody metal crescendos, bringing to mind thethrashings of Nick Oliveri and Queens of the Stone Age.Horsepower opens with Lesson Learned, melding an unrelenting bassline tohard and harsh drumming. Lost in Flight loosens the grip on the reins with amuch more melodic feel. Holly and Jane bolt out of the stables in the middlesection of the album, exploring riffs and beats that seem to be taking usbeyond the boundaries of rock. It sometimes feels strange to be listening toan album with no guitar or vocals, but the laid-back Secret Showdown wouldsit nicely with the rasping voice of a Kurt Cobain or Eddie Vedder. With itssinister and rumbling tone, Wreckin¹ ends an album that scores high in termsof musical originality and technique.Tom West
