A celebration of summer nights to come, Whiplash Girlchild channels the gut primal sound of their acclaimed live show into an anthemic sophomore single. Staying steadfast as a local darling, their first release of 2019 is a fan favourite, answering the calls of stout, sad, indie kids from Toronto’s Queen West to The Junction. “55mm” boasts a driving acoustic guitar lead, which blends effortlessly into punching percussion and harmonica accents to create an arresting indie rock anthem. Pulling influences from both folk and punk, “55mm” is a song for singing in between cigarettes, for giving energy to your June evening, and for belting out in a back room concert hall.
