Hailing from Manchester but bearing more than whiff of eau'de East London cool, The Whip at least have the tunes to match any poses they might pull.
'Muzzle No. 1' is a dynamic amalgamation of The Rapture and Radio 4 but with a euphoric club chorus a la Basement Jaxx and a hint of Cooper Temple Clause in the vocals. Above par, then.
