Bad Flirt

Montreal's Bad Flirt takes a legitimate stab at capturing Metric's title of Canada's coolest female-fronted rock act. There's lots to like on this disc, which wins you over more with each listen. -T’cha Dunlevy, Montreal Gazette You can tell some bands are going to be great just by looking at their picture. Bad Flirt are one such group…Had Virgin Talk come out in July, we might have been tempted to dub it the soundtrack for the summer. -Chart Magazine Montreal-based indie pop outfit brimming with sugary melodies, dance-punk drive and failed romantic overtures…sparkling sound falls somewhere between Metric and UK shoegazers Lush, -Eye Weekly One of Montreal's more intriguing and talked-about acts finally releases its debut disc, Virgin Talk…Bad Flirt have been doing it on their own for years, redefining the ethics of DIY on the road, in the studio and on the web. What we have here is a pretty solid pop rock record from start to finish, highlighted by four-on-the-floor beats, girl-boy-girl vocals, crunchy guitars and headlong bass. -Hour Bad Flirt’s Virgin Talk is sort of like a kitten with rabies — cute yet vicious. The Montreal band’s second full-length release has all of the raw components of full-scale pop: hooks, harmonies and Jasamine White-Gluz’s sugar-sweet voice -Exclaim Virgin Talk plonge la power-pop-punk du groupe dans la marge, placant une batterie pas trop menacante en avant, de vapo couches de synthes en arriere plan, histoire de donner une profoundeur insoupconee aux captivants refrains de la formation. -La Presse With penetrating hooks and sky-high melodies (and titles lifted from episodes of a popular ’90s sitcom—Google and ye shall find), it’s a record that grabs you instantly, and with such pop smarts and rock muscle, don’t even try to escape its clutches. -Montreal Mirror After an arty noise-bending introduction, the five-piece band rips through riffy high-speed tracks charged with percolating rhythms that induce not mere bobbing, but genuine dancing—all-out attitudinal hip-swinging, hair-shaking, shoulder-rolling, butt-wiggling, sexy-pouty-facing and hand-gesturing dancing -Vue Weekly Bad Flirt plunges headlong into sublime pop textures—dual-girl harmonized vocals, simple-but-driving Ringo-style drumming, neat, song-serving guitars similar to both The Bangles and Sleater-Kinney and tasteful keyboard hooks—that never falter in these dozen tracks and at no point let listeners wander off course, because they never stretch beyond the three and-a-half-minute pop song structure…these are the elements of Virgin Talk that make the album an incredible listen. -Ground Control magazine L'album est faite pour faire bouger têtes, jambes et bassins (écoutez et dansez sur Hiroshima mon frère), -Nightlife Magazine Riffs carrés, sobre distorsion, harmonies mielleuses -, Bad Flirt a tout d'un croisement entre The Bangles et Sleater-Kinney. -Voir A sparkling stockpile of gnashing new wave-y guitars and confectionary-sweet melodies. -Halifax Chronicle-Herald There are no average songs on Virgin Talk, and it should garner Bad Flirt the fame of which they are currently on the cusp. -Discorder Read more on Last.fm.
