The Whip (Full 7" plus unreleased tracks)

[@ianrichardspangler]

Got to play with this band a couple times in the Bay area and it's just so amazing to hear those unreleased tracks

[@grory667]

My buddy turned me on to Karp too late to catch them live, but I managed to see The Whip play at the equally-short-lived Blackbird in PDX, sharing the bill with Jarboe(!). They sounded just like everyone'd promised, and it was a dream fulfilled. I'm not sure they were around even a month beyond that point. They were and are "A Great Noise To Behold".

[@davidminken4094]

Dude. I am in tears right now. Did not know this existed. It's like... Earthkarp, or Kprth.

[@natronbetticus]

I just heard "everybody deserves to eat" on a new quicksilver snowboard edit, keeping it real for the PNW ...as soon as I heard the bass tone I thought "This sounds like early big business". Then Jared started singing and it was unmistakeable. PRetty rad stuff.

[@evilnewwargod]

untitled tracks are "All The Kings Horses" and "Everybody Deserves to Eat" thewhip.bandcamp.com/

[@misplacedsociety]

This band was criminally short-lived. The shows I got to see in Seattle were mind-blowing and had a totally berserk energy that made me feel like the future of rock was going to be a good one. One day I went to see them at El Corazon only to find that Scott had died in a tragic accident. I heard a rumor that more tracks might be released at some point--I hope that's true!

[@glennholub3924]

R.I.P. Scott. What awesome music. A gem. I want to cover this in its entirety someday...impossible shoes to fill.

[@clumsiii]

Best drummer miss you

[@TheeeJenius]

So happy I got to see these guys twice. Mind blowing.

[@quentinstirling5435]

I believe in freedom of speech, but seriously, how do you dislike this? Three down to Earth, awesome dudes playing happy, heavy music. Boggles the mind. - Glenn H.

[@BoiledKoolaid]

Resurrect KARP and The Whip right fkn now.

[@matthewgalbreath5520]

saw them play in a living room in Santa Cruz...it was an absolutely bananas show...no idea how my copy of the 7" survived, but i still got that sumbeetch!!!

[@tripeldubbel8942]

That third track makes my face melt!

[@ianrichardspangler]

Yes yes yes

[@Zorbatron]

Freelance Liaison is perhaps the finest example of heavy pop I have ever heard.

[@MrSherlockDomes]

check out Floor's albums ...ive always said they were heavy pop. soul crushing sound with light spirited well sung lyrics

[@buddhull]

Pond is another good example, though maybe a couple notches below heavy and a few above on the pop scale. The Youth Splendor 7” specifically comes to my brain. Melvins might’ve been too heavy to qualify. Some 90s stuff of theirs definitely qualifies, however. I’ll also be “that internet idiot guy” by name checking Nirvana’s Smart Sessions as another example. That’s all I’ll say about that one though.

[@clumsiii]

@@MrSherlockDomes checking oblation now...hmm. Not digging the production: mids are really crashy and washed out. Dig that they have a song called Rocinante! And before Expanse came out lol. Bet they're a super band live. This recording is a bummer. hi hat compression is lossy

[@clumsiii]

heavy pop fav for me is Tonstartssbandht "I'm a Welsh Souper" watch?v=cM5cp4WeZm8 it's a cover of a Bollywood song! gnar and lightning bolt style idfk the OG bollywood can be found by term "kasume" - fun to compare

[@clumsiii]

for anyone curious about the inspiration for "im a welsh souper" it's pop gold watch?v=Z0CHubeihqY

[@streetcrawler]

What....why haven't I heard this? I love Karp and Big Business. This is insane.

[@__iconoclast7744]

Glad I know this exists.

[@eddiem5997]

Took a chance and bought this when it came out not knowing what it was at all. Best chance I ever took.

[@happyday8042]

Welcome to this world! - Primus?

[@slimchance7748]

LOVE this - K.A.R.P came to our “little” town of Yakima in 92/93? W/ Fitz of Depression, I believe...At the time, in my 15 yr old brains...I thought “this is creepy metal, w/ the weird curly haired guy!?” Drove to see KARP @ RCKCNDY (Seattle) in 97?, to find out the gig was cancelled...👎🏻 LONG LIVE Scott Jernigan!!🤘🏻🙌🏻 Damn!!!!!

[@collenrung5009]

Super awesome bad ass!!!!!!

[@jevicci]

Thanks so much for uploading. I have the 7" but where did you find the other 3 tracks? Are those two songs really untitled or do you just not know the titles?

[@potar]

Bought it! Looking forward to the LP. Do you have a release date?

holy shit where did those 3 tracks materialise from?!

[@pistolswing]

Relentlessly-Unrelenting. Just leave this 7” on your turntable for a month. Wake up. Drop the needle. Do the math. Math is a human construct. This band is why I still wear ear plugs. RIP Scotty. Few smashed as you had. Probably one of my most precious possessions. AKA: breakfast 7-inch! Lars Meow.

[@runningeagle5052]

Shoulder dancing at its finest. And wondering if they even brought fist pumps back? it was around this time....

[@TheFreedomConversation]

where can I find more if this band? Google gives nothing .

[@TrillKump]

from here you can follow KARP, then Big Business, the Melvins, ...

[@gjh400]

tight bros from way back when.

[@incredibleuniverse]

Thrones

[@mikequinlivan8842]

They recorded this, then Scott, the drummer, died in an odd boat accident. So, that was the end of The Whip. Big Business was/is a somewhat similar project.

[@nangwaya4186]

Search for The Whip at "Lucky House" Should be 1 - 7 or so pieces of footage uploaded. Some of the songs don't appear to have been recorded and sound as good as Freelance Liaison to me Incredible riffs
