Montreal’s TAXI GIRLS Blend Garage Rock Cool and Power Pop Punch on Debut Album ‘Static’
Montreal’s TAXI GIRLS make a strong first impression with Static, their debut album out now via Stomp Records. Across 10 tracks, the band blends power pop hooks, garage rock grit, and punk attitude into a record that feels both classic and refreshingly modern. Inspired by trailblazers like The Runaways and Girlschool without simply recreating their sound, Static captures the spirit of Montreal’s vibrant music scene while showcasing the band’s sharp songwriting, infectious dual-vocal chemistry, and knack for memorable choruses.
Beneath its swagger, Static explores themes of love, loss, mental health, postpartum depression, nostalgia, and self-acceptance, making it as emotionally resonant as it is fun to listen to. Standout tracks like “Say It!,” “Secret Handshake,” and “Midnight Mixtape” balance vulnerability with explosive energy, reinforcing TAXI GIRLS’ ability to pair heartfelt storytelling with irresistible rock and roll hooks.
Standout tracks “Say It!,” “Secret Handshake,” and “Midnight Mixtape” highlight TAXI GIRLS’ knack for pairing emotionally honest songwriting with infectious hooks. The band’s dual vocals move effortlessly between vulnerable and defiant, while jangly guitars, garage rock grit, and power pop melodies create a sound that’s both nostalgic and distinctly their own. It’s no surprise New Noise Magazine praised their ability to balance hope and disillusionment through deeply personal storytelling.
That same energy has made TAXI GIRLS a rising force on the live circuit, sharing stages with artists like NOBRO, NOFX, The Hives, Billy Talent, and Pansy Division before earning a coveted endorsement from Iggy Pop on his BBC 6 Music radio show. With Static, the Montreal band delivers a confident, hook-filled debut that captures both their musical identity and the momentum that’s quickly carrying them beyond their hometown.
