Montreal's Bad Flirt play high-energy pop rock that some critics have said put them on track to challenge Metric's reign as the city's top female-vocalist fronted band.
Bad Flirt had some big-time help for their latest album, Virgin Talk, bringing on producer Howard Bilerman (Arcade Fire, Wolf Parade) to help guide the band's sound and recording.
Armed with an acoustic guitar, some drum loops and a Greyhound bus pass, Bad Flirt was once just a solo project for singer/songwriter Jasamine White Gluz. She dove into the burgeoning Montreal scene in 2002 quickly, a then small but vibrant community. This was during the same embryonic period that yielded the scene's indie pop ambassadors Arcade Fire, The Unicorns and Stars.
Bad Flirt has opened for bands like The Thermals, Paramore and The Kills. Last year, the band headlined Toronto's Virgin Fest alongside MGMT and Foo Fighters. Bad Flirt will be performing at a number of festivals in July, including Rock The Coliseum Festival in Mississauga, Le Cercle (Festival D’Ete De Quebec) and Le Téléphone Rouge (off Fete Du Lac Festival).
Although Virgin Talk is a keeper LP, it's not the blockbuster release needed to truly threatened Metric's throne as Montreal's top female-vocalist fronted band. Still, the album contains some standout tracks such as "Hiroshima" and "Mad, Mad Madeleine World". The former song, with over 30K plays on the band's MySpace page, is the most requested song from Virgin Talk so far.
